Haan na, it is so scary when they get warm at 9 months. Usually, 100.4 F and above is considered a fever. Just give them breastmilk or formula to keep them hydrated, and check with your pediatrician.

Hey, my sister's baby is 9 months old and she told me 100.4 F is the fever mark. Don't worry too much, but do call your doctor to get it checked out.

I was just researching this for a family member. For a 9-month-old, 100.4 F or higher is considered a fever. It is definitely best to consult a pediatrician to be safe.

I used to panic so much whenever my baby felt warm, but my pediatrician explained that 100.4 F or higher is a fever for a 9-month-old. It is actually very common, just get a doctor's advice.

I am new to parenting and my 9-month-old feels warm. I understand 100.4 F is a fever, but should I measure it rectally or under the arm for accuracy? What do most doctors recommend?
