There is no better thermometer for babies
5/5

The forehead thermometer, ear thermometer, or basically anything other than the butt thermometer should be used. A rectal temperature, on the other hand, will be the focus of your pediatrician. And, frankly, babies are tiny and mysterious, so and shoving something up their rear when you are stressed and sleep deprived and really have no idea how much is too much is a bad idea. Okay, so you want the exact model of this The time for sleep has come- Parents are often too stressed to turn off and on, and it is impossible to stick in just a little too far or not far enough. It began as a fancy memory game, and then became a simple one that we both hated. As soon as a newly expectant parent signs up, we get this. Every time one says, "Oh I got the fancy ear one," and you just nod and smile.

Babies should not be exposed to The thermometer in the Pediatricians office is 5 degrees below normal! Dr
3/5

Foster sent me to the pediatrician after I walked into the office with a mild fever (measured She was measured at 105 by her pediatrician! In the office the next day after our pediatrician, we brought our Vicks thermometer and used it in the office right after the pediatrician treated our infant for a fever (luckily, we did not just stay home). The year 97. Compared to 99, the number one is greater. The number 6 is 6! According to her thermometer, Vicks was 2° C. The temperature has dropped five degrees below freezing. Whenever my baby is in trouble, I won't trust them with the care of my child! It's better to buy one new. Several of our parenting groups use Facebook, so I'm sharing with them. I would say that babies shouldn't be left alone in a home like this. *Be aware of what you're buying and don't put your infant at risk by picking the wrong item.

I have used it with all four of my kids and it is far more accurate than Checking your baby's temperature this way is the easiest, fastest and most accurate method available
5/5

The thermometer that I am using now has been superior to those ear thermometers that I used to use. Within a couple of seconds, you get your results, and they are short, so there is very little chance of you making a mistake. All you need to do is put it in their bum and they're good to go! In my experience as an ER nurse, we check babies' temperatures in the ER in this manner.

The display isn't compatible with more than one unit
3/5

A friend used one with their son and was super pleased with The plaything was broken when he broke The purpose of this purchase was to use it Since I did not open it until I needed it, the whole bottom half of the digits display does not work, so I have to guess what the temperature reading is. When I went to Walgreens to get a replacement model (same brand and model), the bottom half of the display was broken as well as the left half of the lower digits, so it was impossible to even guess what the data was. The situation is really frustrating. It's obvious that there's a manufacturing defect involved. I am in contact with the manufacturer to see if anything can be done about the issue. As a result of the price, I don't think this model is worth the trouble as it's not worth the hassle.

I liked it until the wheels fell off
3/5

The thermometer was recommended to us by a popular baby website, and there are many positive reviews of it on Amazon, so we bought it. Its compact design and ease of use were two reasons why we loved it. I am sorry to report that, as reviewed by many others, it failed after only one year of intermittent Our son was running a fever at the time, so this happened. When I turned it on, a message with the word "Err" appeared on the digital display. A new battery was not successful after we changed it. It was later explained to me that the "Err" message indicates that the unit is permanently damaged. Sorry to hear that. Compared to this thermometer, we bought a new one for a third of the price at a local drugstore. In the future, I will continue to use that method.

Occasionally displays "Err", but seldom works
3/5

My thermometer works only once every fifth time I turn it on, so I'm not sure if it's a defective unit. If it turns on, it will continue running in error mode (the display will show "Err"). Because the entire world bought out the thermometer supply, I'm stuck with this thing that only works when needed and cost 5 times what a simple thermometer would cost. You should find alternatives once the Coronapocalypse is over.

I was not able to display the temperature on my brand new thermometer
3/5

At a time when I needed to check my baby's temperature on a second occasion, I pulled out this thermometer brand new from its package. As the display only worked on a portion of the screen, it was impossible to determine what the number It was disappointing. Due to the fact that it was an add-on item at the time of purchase, I have had difficulty figuring out how to return it.
