Mothers who have just given birth may not know the reason for their baby's crying. It could be that the baby is sick because their body temperature is constantly changing. Therefore, mothers should always pay attention to their baby's body temperature. So, what is the normal range for a baby's forehead temperature?
Normal range of baby's forehead temperature
The normal body temperature of a baby is between 36 and 37 degrees Celsius. A temperature above 37 degrees Celsius is considered low-grade fever. A temperature between 37.1-38 degrees Celsius is considered mild fever, 38.1-39 degrees Celsius is considered moderate fever, 39.1-41 degrees Celsius is considered high fever, and above 41 degrees Celsius is considered ultra-high fever. It is recommended that mothers keep their babies warm, avoid catching a cold, and adjust their clothing in a timely manner. If the baby's body temperature exceeds 37, go to the hospital immediately and do not delay treatment.
How to maintain a baby's normal body temperature
1. Adjust the indoor temperature well, keep the indoor air fresh and the temperature moderate.
2. Mothers should pay attention to observing their babies' reactions to the cold and warm weather. If the baby's body is too cold and the body temperature is below 35 ℃, it indicates that the baby's body is too cold. It is necessary to strengthen the baby's warmth. If the baby cries, takes off the blanket, extends their arms outside the blanket, and has sweat on their face, it is a sign of overheating in the baby's body. It is appropriate to reduce the clothes or blankets worn by the baby.
Baby's body temperature often fluctuates due to certain factors.
1. The body temperature of babies also varies at different times. Baby's body temperature is often higher in the evening than in the morning;
2. After eating, crying, and walking, the baby's body temperature will temporarily increase;
3. If the baby wears too many clothes and covers them with blankets, or if the indoor temperature is too high, the baby's body temperature will also rise slightly. If a baby experiences temporary temperature fluctuations, as long as their condition is good and their mental state is lively, it is usually not considered that the baby is sick.
