A. Yes its normal only No need to worry for that Baby's head warm than rest of body due to larger head surface area, 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. e
