Normal temperature of a baby

A normal temperature in babies and children is about 36.4C, but this can vary slightly. Your baby may have a high temperature if they: feel hotter than usual to touch on their forehead, back or stomach. A baby's normal temperature can range from about 97 to 100.3 degrees Fahrenheit. Most doctors consider a rectal temperature of 100.4 F or higher as a fever. Use a digital thermometer as it is easy to read and can measure your child's temperature quickly.
