Sa

My son is 7 weeks old. Usually he eats really well (4-5 oz every 4 hours during the day, 6 oz at midnight). Last night he slept the longest he has ever slept (8 hours) and I have noticed that he hasn’t been eating as well as he usually does. I took his temp under his arm amd it was 99.5. I took it rectally (same thermometer with a probe cover) and it was 99.2, which makes no sense to me. I know that little ones can get very sick very quickly, so I’m probably freaking out more than I should. I guess I’m looking for advice from more experienced moms?
