9 month old temperature

Is a rectal reading of 96.7 too low?? DD is 9 months old.

Yes. It should be above 97.3. Wrap baby in a blanket and check in about 15 min. If it is still low call the doctor.

The thermometer read 96.7?

Sometimes the thermometers come up with crazy numbers. I'd try it again in a few minutes. Try to keep your LO as still as possible while taking it.
