The baby's temperature center is not yet fully developed, and body temperature is easily influenced by external factors. The body's temperature regulation function is relatively weak, and the temperature at the anus is higher than that at the armpits. So, is a baby's temperature of 34.7 normal?
The normal body temperature of a baby is between 36.5 degrees and 37.5 degrees, and a temperature of 34.7 degrees is considered hypothermia and abnormal. Once the baby's body temperature drops below 35 degrees, mothers should take it seriously because low temperatures are more severe than fever and may cause shock in the baby. Therefore, it is recommended to go directly to the hospital for a physical examination.
The temperature center of a baby is not as mature as that of an adult, so it cannot automatically regulate body temperature, and body temperature often changes with fluctuations in external temperature. At normal body temperature, the nutrients absorbed by the baby can meet their growth and development needs. If there is a low temperature, it will affect the baby's absorption of nutrients, thereby affecting their normal development and greatly reducing their resistance.
Mothers should pay more attention to feeding their babies vegetables and fruits to increase their body's vitamins and enhance their immunity. The indoor temperature should be adjusted appropriately. If it's too cold in winter, you can try placing a hot water bottle under the blanket or a heater by the bed. In summer, keep the indoor ventilation good, but do not aim the window at the baby to avoid catching a cold or middle summer heat.
