POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. It’s not uncommon for a baby’s body to feel warm during feeding or when they are close to you, especially if they are wrapped in clothes or a blanket. However, if your baby's body feels warm but the thermometer reads 97-98°F (36.1-36.7°C), this temperature is within the normal range for infants.
Here are a few things to consider:
1. **Room Temperature**: Ensure the room where you are feeding is comfortably cool and well-ventilated. Overheating can occur if the room is too warm or if the baby is dressed too warmly.
2. **Clothing**: Make sure your baby isn’t too bundled up or wearing too many layers. Dress them in light, breathable clothing.
3. **Feeding Position**: Sometimes, close contact during feeding can make the baby feel warmer.
4. **Monitor for Other Symptoms**: Keep an eye on other signs such as excessive sweating, irritability, or signs of illness. If your baby shows any of these symptoms or seems unusually uncomfortable, it may be worth consulting your pediatrician.
5. **Regular Temperature Checks**: Continue monitoring your baby’s temperature to ensure it remains within the normal range.
If you remain concerned or notice any other symptoms, it’s always best to consult with your pediatrician to rule out any potential issues and ensure your baby’s comfort and health.
