| #In a case where the child is under three months and appears to be ill, if his temperature is not that high, but merely a notch over 100 degrees, one can still desecrate the [[Shabbos]] (call a doctor, drive if a non-Jew cannot be found etc.) as temperature for a newborn can be indicative of something more serious.<ref>Igros Moshe O.C. 1:129</ref> If time is not of essence one should obviously initially look to engage a non-Jew in any prohibited activity. <ref>Rabbi Heshy Kahn (What's Doing, Greater Connecticut, 3/3/11)</ref>

| #If a child needs a vaporizer to alleviate discomfort (from bronchitis etc.), one may ask a non-Jew to plug it in on [[Shabbos]] to ease his pain. While some prohibit adding cold water to a cold water vaporizer,<ref>Minchas Yitzchok 7:28, Be'er Moshe 6:51</ref> others permit it if you pour it through the spout.<ref>Sefer Hilchos Shabbos 8: footnote 64, B'shem R' Moshe Feinstien ZT”L</ref> If it is a hot water vaporizer one may take previously boiled water from an urn and refill it.<ref>Shalmai Yehudah pg. 44</ref>
