Hi, my son is just 6months old. Since, three months of his birth, there is huge variation in his body temp (primarily head & foot) and very frequently it reaches > 101deg.... we have diagnosed thru his blood, urine, x-ray...everything is norma. However, I dont understand the reason for the higher temp?
Thanks for the consultation. Small baby temperature thermostat is very sensitive. They also have high metabolic rate. Baby head and feet are very warm during feeding specially during breastfeed time, This is normal phenomenon, no need to worry at all. If the baby is active, taking feed and pink and passing urine and stool then you should not worry. Although you have performed all the basic test which are normal, there was no need of it. If the babies are sick or something wrong, then are not taking feed, and they are not active. This first thing happen to them which should be alarming to the parents.
