Sometimes overclothing can cause increased temperature..
Avoid overclothing.
If baby is active and accepting feeds well should be fine.

Please maintain an ambient room temperature between 24-26*C.
Health Tips
Check temperature and maintain a temperature chart.. if still above 100*F or any other symptoms plz consult a Pediatrician online or offline.
