A baby has a large surface area in comparison to its mass. Thus heat escapes more readily.
This is critical in the newborn period, and especially in premature infants. Hence they are immediately put in a warm blanket or under a radiant heater.

It doesn't usually go lower than normal. If it does, your baby may be cold! But most thermometers require you to add a degree or two of the actual reading.
