What is the normal body temperature for an 8-month-old baby?

For an 8-month-old infant, the normal body temperature typically ranges between 36.0°C and 37.2°C. Measuring the infant’s temperature helps determine whether it falls within the normal range. A lower-than-normal temperature may indicate anemia or insufficient clothing. Fever, on the other hand, is commonly caused by the common cold, viral infections, or bacterial infections. Therefore, accurate temperature measurement is essential to confirm the presence of fever—treatment should never be initiated blindly.
