My 6 week old baby has a cold. I've been checking his temperature the last two days and he hasn't reached fever levels. However he feels hotter than usual. Anyone experienced this before?

Yes I’m sure my baby was fighting something last week as he was a bit sleepier than usual and temperature was 37.3ish rather than 36 something like it normally is. You could feel he was hotter than normal before even taking temperature. This lasted about a day then it was normal again.
oh thanks that's really reassuring. I was thinking something was wrong with the thermometer or that I was going crazy!

I had the exact same thing as Catherine yesterday!
how long did it last for and what did yoye baby have.My baby was diagnosed with bronchiolitis. I'm on edge checking it every hour!

I noticed her head felt very warm so took temp and it was 37.3 which I thought was a bit high for her but still not fever. The next day she seemed to be fine and more herself so I haven't thought anything more if it but looking back she has been a bit sniffy and had a couple green watery nappies so she might have been fighting off something.
