what should i do?

if you are worried, go to the doctor to put your mind at rest if nothing else. What is her temperature normally when she's not ill? I was told that some babies/people are lower than 'normal' body temp - plus it depends how you take the temp. Erins is always about 36.1 when taken in the ear so I know that is normal for her...

I definitley agree, pop him up to the doctors to put ure mind at ease, is he seeming poorly in any other way at all? Off his food, not sleeping as settled etc?

he has had a high temp for two days now, and he is feeling a bit bad. I just dont have the car right now so taking him to the doctor means calling DH home from work. I am going to measure it again soon if its still low ill call him.

Im sure hes fine and maybe just feeling a bit groggy and under the weather, keep ure chin up and give him lots of cuddles, make sure if it doesnt go away that a trip to the docs is made...just to be safe!
