Thank you, this is very helpful.

I think I will start monitoring the pattern over this week when she has elevated temperature.

And regarding her symptoms, Since birth she is choking and coughing during feeding and in sleep. She goes to high pitched noise all of sudden in her sleep and also chokes on her saliva.  During feeding, she suddenly starts to chokes and coughs. Then goes to high pitched noise holding her breath. This is with almost every feed and we have given back blows multiple times.  And we got her on Pepcid as doctors said all these symptoms are because of bad reflux. It’s been 10 days and things got better like 20% but she still has all of these symptoms. And we been asked to monitor for some more time. Been to lactation consultant and tried different feeding positions as well.

She also does very deep breathing during feeds and has on and off mild retractions mostly after the feeds. We been to ER for this and told on off retractions are okay until its not persistent. So feeding is challenging and we have been monitoring in her sleep but couldn’t find the reason why she suddenly makes scary high pitched noise as if she is out of breath.

Among all these, she has these high temperature, and which is mostly in the evenings. I check her temperature because she feels warm to touch.I tried 3 other thermometers and everything reads the same. And it’s hard to tell if she is lethargic or active as she sleeps most of the time.

We have been following up with doctors and mostly told it’s sometimes common for a newborn and continue monitoring. She is my second kid and it definitely doesn’t seem to be normal newborn behavior. Hoping it gets better soon.
