A. Baby's head warm than rest of body due to larger head surface area, And also note this that Any temperature above 100 F is fever. Always measures temperature in armpits only. No need to give any fever medicine if fever is below 100 F. If asociated complaints like cough, cold, loose motion It that accordingly. Keep ur baby well hydrated. Baby should pass minimum urine 6-8 times per day.

A. No dear this temperature is not considered as fever normal body temperature for a healthy baby is between 97 and 100.3 degrees Fahrenheit. If your baby's rectal temperature is 100.4 degrees or higher, he has a fever.
