The normal temperature of the newborn
The child''s natural temperature is 37 degrees Celsius, as the temperature ranges between 36.3 degrees Celsius in the early morning and with waking up from sleep, and 37.6 degrees Celsius in the middle of the day.

How do we measure the temperature of a newborn?
It is preferable to measure the temperature of the newborn''s body through the anus, where a clean and sterile thermometer is ed into the opening gently and wait until it rings, or a minute after putting it on, and the reading is done afterwards.
For infants from 3 to 6 months of age, temperature is measured orally, under the armpit or ear with the same thermometer.
After the age of six months, the child''s temperature can be measured like an adult by putting a thermometer inside his mouth.
