    That is low. Maybe you just didn't get a good reading. Our first themometor didn't work right and we always got strange readings. We replaced it and havn't had any issues. Did you try taking it again?

    Yeah, I believe rectal temps should read about .5 - 1 degree higher than the actual temp (so if it reads 99.6, it would really be 98.6)

    I don't do rectals.  I read something about parents poking too deep and I can't even finish the sentence it upsets me so.  So we do underarm, which reads about 1 degree lower.

    I would put an extra layer of clothing on and wait 30 minutes, then take again. it could be that the air in the house is on making her a little chilly. Does your pedi office have a advice line? If so then you can call them to ease your fears. But i think she is probably fine.

    happytracy, is her skin mottled (like white and red?) if so, she is cold! I would keep a check on her, and take her temp in another couple of hours
