Yes, a body temperature of 36.4°C (97.5°F) is within the normal range for a 22-day-old baby.
Normal body temperature for newborns (0-3 months):
- Rectal temperature: 36.5-37.5°C (97.7-99.5°F)
- Axillary (armpit) temperature: 36-37.2°C (96.8-99°F)
However, it's essential to consider other factors, such as:
1. Baby's overall behavior and well-being.
2. Feeding and sleeping patterns.
3. Presence of any signs of distress or illness (e.g., vomiting, diarrhea, cough, or difficulty breathing).
Monitor your baby's temperature regularly, especially in the first few months. Consult your pediatrician if you notice:
1. Temperature above 38°C (100.4°F) or below 36°C (96.8°F).
2. Fever lasting more than 24-48 hours.
3. Signs of illness or discomfort.
For accurate temperature measurement:
1. Use a digital thermometer.
2. Take rectal temperature (most accurate for newborns).
3. Ensure proper thermometer placement and technique.
