What would be considered normal and low for body temperature taken under the arm with a digital thermometer ? They are between 56-60. Thanks.

Your thermometer is surely broken.

To answer your question, around 37°C or 98.6°F.

Mine would usually be between 35.5 and 36.

The 56-60 is their age not their temperature !
