Flushed cheeks

[BabyBrain]

Albert has had flushed cheeks on and off all day. I took his under arm temp about an hour ago and it was 36.4, is it right that the underarm temp is about a degree lower than his actual temp? If so does this mean he has a slight fever after his jabs? He's only in a sleepsuit and nappy cos I thought maybe he was over dressed xxxxxxx

its possible hes a lil flushed after his jabs tho alyssa has rosy cheeks sometimes due to teething too. if hes a bit fretful maybe give him calpol, if hes happy id just keep an eye on him

I'd do calpol and an eye out. Is he ok in himself?

He was fine this morning but this afternoon he doesn't know if he wants to feed or sleep, he's trying to do both at the same time tbh lol. He's very cuddly too and a bit whingy if I put him down. Good job I can type one handed lol. I don't think he feels right, I'll just have to watch him

All the sites say to add a degree under the arm or subtract a degree if taken rectally. I'm not sticking the thermometer up his bum.......unless one day my FIL feels ill lmao

No, I didn't know this either. That means Emily has had raised temps in the past...
