A member asked:

Is it normal for 2 yo to have a rectal temp of 97 right upon waking? he hates covers & kicks them off every night. it rises to normal within 1/2 hour.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: 97 is in the normal range. If he is otherwise well, don't worry about his temperature so much! the human body does a great job of regulating these things.

Dr Ferguson and another doctor agreed
