Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 I'm probably going to show my newbieness on this one but I have a question about temps with CP soap. For the most part I've always found that you wanted your temps for oils and water around 100ish degrees (I've seen range from 95-105). But when I was looking through one of my books the other night I came across a couple of recipes that called for the temp to be 150. Why so high? I couldn't find any justifcation for it in the book...and of course I've slept and rebooted my brain so I don't remember exactly what EOs and stuff the recipe called for, but the oils were the ususal olive, palm, coconut kind of mix. If anyone has any thoughts on it I'd love to hear them. And I can look up the recipe tonight too if I need to provide more info on the " other goodies " going into the soap. Thanks! ~^~^~Dawn~^~^~ MorningStar Creations Home of The Liberty Hill Soap Haus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 I think I may have found my answer... Both of the recipes I had noticed the temp difference contained beeswax. My books don't really go much in too the beeswax...as far as benefits (think I need some new books!) other than making a harder bar. Anything anyone can share would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again! ~^~^~Dawn~^~^~ > I'm probably going to show my newbieness on this one but I have a > question about temps with CP soap.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I have the forehead scanning thermometer and it has been a lifesaver. I think it was around $40 at the local drug store, but it has been worth every penny. Accurate and you are able to take their temp while they sleep. The scan takes less than 5 seconds. Highly recommend it! Kara Tommy age 5.5 (3 years with ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 We still take our son's rectally. If you can get them to keep their arm down, a regular digital thermometer under the armpit works well, too, but remember to add a degree to the reading. As for record keeping, I made a table that allows me to keep up with his temp and meds given for each hour of the day. Our doctors in St. Louis just want to know the highest his temp got on any given day of his fever, so it is easy to scan the page and get that information. Here's the best example I could give using this board, and I hope it posts ok. If you want the actual document, e-mail me, and I can send you it, so long as you use Office Word. We use Rondec at night as a cough suppressant because when he spikes at night, he'll start coughing, which leads to vomiting. If he gets his dose before he goes to bed, it seems to lessen the coughing episodes. BTW, e-mail me either at lizzzy9@... OR lizzy@... if you want this. I can also change the hour setups to if you would like. Temperature monitoring and antipyretic/cough suppressant dosages Date _______________ Time Temp (rectal °F) Tylenol Ibuprofen Rondec 06:00 07:00 08:00 09:00 10:00 11:00 12:00 13:00 14:00 15:00 16:00 17:00 18:00 19:00 20:00 21:00 22:00 23:00 00:00 01:00 02:00 03:00 04:00 05:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
