Newborn 37.2℃ does not belong to fever. Because the baby is younger, the basal metabolic rate is higher, and the normal temperature is between 36-37.5℃, so the temperature does not exceed 37.5℃. It is recommended that you observe the baby's own situation more, and you can choose to retest the temperature to rule out the possibility of fever.
