2. Hypothermia
We all know how dangerous hypothermia can be to adults. For a child, it can be even more common and dangerous. The part of the brain that regulates the temperature of the baby’s body is not fully developed until they are around 4 years old. Symptoms can vary in severity and include pale skin, constant shivering, fast or shallow breathing, low energy or a change in behavior. If these signs show up immediately wrap the baby completely in warm clothes and blankets and move them to a warmer area. Use your own body heat to help the baby warm up as well and if they start to lose consciousness, immediately call emergency services. The temperature that starts this whole cycle can begin at 89.6 degrees.
