A normal temperature for an infant is between 36.5 C and 37.4 C when taken under the baby's arm. Check with the nurse at the hospital to make sure you know how to check the temperature under the baby's arm.
If your baby:
- feels hot
- has flushed skin
- is crying more than usual
- is not feeding well
Check his or her TEMPERATURE.
Call your doctor or midwife if your baby's temperature is greater then 37.5 C when taken under the arm.
