Parents who take care of infants know to pay attention to their body temperature. Of course, many parents know that the body temperature of infants may be slightly higher than that of adults, but the specific amount of increase and the normal value of the baby's body temperature are not clear to many people. So, is it normal for a 7-month-old baby to have a body temperature of 37.2?
A 7-month-old baby has a body temperature of 37.2, which is indeed a bit high, but the baby's body temperature itself tends to be higher, so this temperature of 37.2 is still normal. Generally speaking, as long as a baby's body temperature does not exceed 37.2, it is considered normal. At this time, parents should pay more attention to the baby's stool and feeding habits.
There are some precautions to take when measuring a baby's temperature, such as the timing of measuring the baby's temperature. It is not suitable to measure the baby's temperature when they are breastfeeding or shortly after they have finished feeding. Of course, after a baby cries or exercises, taking their temperature will reveal that their body temperature will increase. This is something to be aware of.
Also, when checking the temperature of a baby, it is important to pay attention to the area being tested. If it is the armpit area, it must be dry and sweat free. If there is sweat, it will also affect the temperature. Observe whether there are any abnormalities in the baby's body, check their temperature, and also pay attention to their mental state.
