Recommendations on thermometer?

Question

Hey Ladies just trying to get some recommendations on a thermometer and anything else a FTM may want to be prepared and have . Im starting to shop for all the important necessities. I already bought gripe water , planning on getting Tylenol and all the medicine I will need. All opinions very well needed . Thank you !!

Answer

We just have two, regular digital ones and they have served us well! It was what was suggested to us by our pediatrician at the "meet the ped" night we went too.

We have two because one has "bum" written on it. :) We've been told rectal temps are the most accurate for little babies.

Answer

I got thisbone from ebay for about 2 dollars and tested it for myself and it worked great. They also seem to be very well put together and dont seem like they would break easy. It is a hard plastic pacifier thermometer though not like a normal one

Answer

You might want to get either a forehead or ear thermometer. They are a life saver...much easier than using rectum thermometers. Plus it'll also be nice when the baby gets older too.
