A normal temperature for babies, infants or children is mostly about 36.4C (97.5F), but sometimes this can vary slightly. Anything above the temperature of 38C (100.4F) or above is considered to be a fever. Your baby may have a fever if they: feel hotter than usual to the touch – on their forehead, back or stomach. Then you have to see a doctor
