Baby fever shivering?

Shivering during fever in babies (a chill or chills episode) is actually the body's normal physiological response to a raised set point. The body produces heat by contracting muscles to reach the new higher target temperature.
As fever rises, the baby feels cold and shivers. Once fever peaks, shivering usually stops and the baby may start to sweat.
What parents should do:
• A light blanket is enough — don't overdress or wrap tightly, as this raises temperature further and is dangerous.
• Keep the room at a comfortable temperature, not too cold or hot.
• Once shivering stops, dress the baby in a way that feels comfortable.
Seek immediate medical attention if:
• Fever is ≥38°C in a baby under 3 months
• A shivering episode lasts more than 5-10 minutes
• During shivering, your baby's eyes are rolling, consciousness is unclear, or their body is rigid or convulsing (this could be a febrile seizure)
• Fever comes down but the baby is still lethargic, sleepy, or fussy
• Ateşli havale sırasında yapılmayacaklar: never put anything in the mouth, don't shake them, don't submerge in cold water — just turn them on their side and note the time.
