What should be the normal baby temperature range?

Can anybody suggest me the normal baby temperature range for a 6 month old baby? Is it should be similar to the adults one or it ranges something different, I am not getting the correct answer for this different people have different opinions.

Normal baby's temperature range is same as adult normal body temperature, that is 96.8 f,but some pediatrician says that baby body temperature range between 94.5 to 100.4 f.but normal temperature can vary in baby's body .You can use pacifier thermometer to take the baby temperature.but there are some flaws of using it because it uses in the mouth of baby.may be your baby do not shut his mouth properly.At that time air can be pass and results into wrong temperature reading.You can use thermometer that use to read oral,rectal and axilla temperature.Hence you can use digital thermometer in place of pacifier thermometer.Measuring baby body temperature is essential to know the health of your baby because every time when anything is wrong in their body normal body temperature increased.Because fever is sign of health problem.Well rectal temperature and ear temperature is the most accurate temperature than any other method.During teething the normal temperature of a baby can also increase.Minor fever does not harmful for your child but slightly higher temperature is the symptom of a serious problem .at that moment immedietly consult with a good pediatrician.
