What is the baby's temperature?

When caring for babies, it is necessary to do it in a comprehensive manner so that the babies can be prevented from getting sick. Many parents are casual in caring for their babies, which is incorrect. Moreover, when the baby feels uncomfortable, they cannot be relieved in time. So what is the baby's body temperature? Many parents do not understand this. The following is a detailed introduction so that you can have some understanding.

What is the baby's temperature?

There are three common places used to measure body temperature, namely the mouth, armpits and anus. The normal body temperature is between 36.5℃ and 37.5℃ at the anus; between 36.2℃ and 37.3℃ at the mouth; and between 35.9℃ and 37.2℃ at the armpits. After measurement, any temperature that exceeds the normal range by more than 0.5℃ is called fever.

People often say that it is normal for babies under one year old to have a body temperature below 37.5℃. The reason is that the center in the baby's brain that controls body temperature regulation is not yet mature, that is, the ability to control body temperature is not strong enough, causing the baby's body temperature to be affected by the ambient temperature. In hot weather or when wrapped too much, body temperature may rise slightly, but should not exceed 37.5°C. In cold weather or in an air-conditioned room with low temperature, body temperature can drop to 36℃ or lower.

In the hot summer, the temperature is very high and the baby's ability to regulate its own body temperature is poor. When the mother holds the baby, the heat is not easy to dissipate, causing the body temperature to rise. However, this kind of fever usually does not last too long. Put the child in a cool place, fan him slightly, give him some cool fruit juice, or give him a warm bath, and the body temperature will return to normal after a few hours. In winter, if the indoor temperature is too high and the baby is wrapped too much, the baby's body temperature will also rise.

After understanding the baby's body temperature, when the baby has an abnormal body temperature, mothers cannot choose medicine for the baby at will. Random choices will have an impact on the baby's body. A physical examination should be conducted first, and treatment should be chosen according to the doctor's advice. This will be very helpful in alleviating the body temperature problem. Mothers should pay attention to this.
