Their average internal temperature is the same (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit), but it can be a little higher because 1) they have faster metabolisms because they're growing so fast, and 2) because they have a slightly harder time regulating their temperatures (especially newborns). But the basic temperature you use to judge is they have a fever or not is the same as ours.

Yes, but they get colder quickly too! I have 4 children. The general idea is when you get dressed you should dress your baby the same and add an extra layer on ! Especially when they are new-born. So, say it's summer - I put my baby in a cute t-shirt and little pants - but she has a singlet on underneath. In winter - the little outfit plus a jacket. Just layer, if baby starts to get sweaty, take some layers off - some babies get hotter than others. You will get to know your baby best.

Babies have a special "function" that makes the body warm up faster and better than an adult's.
i found this out when I heard a survival story. A family was caught in the blistering cold without coats, food, or shelter. The father got his toes removed after they were found, but the baby was perfectly fine - a slight cold I think.

Most of the time thats why they tell you to dress your baby like you dress yourself. Your baby will get a molding looking thing going on their bodys if they are to cold.

I know mine felt so warm all the time, and i was always taking her temperature to see if she was fine, and she was! She just felt so toasty warm, and she enjoyed being wrapped up alot too.

no, sometimes they feel that way because they have been covered up.
