Best thermometer?

Question

I got both a forehead and a ear thermometer at my shower. Do you mommies have a preference on which one you use? May keep both or take one back. Haven't decided.
Thanks everyone!!!

Answer

I've got both... I find with the forehead one, if I do it ten times in a row... Every time it's different. I like the ear one better.

Answer

Rectal is best for infant

Answer

My son recently had a 104.1 auxiliary temp. Forehead thermometer read 100.5! I'll never trust that thing again!

Answer

My Dr told me the war one was better because it gauges the temp of inside the head and not just the outter skin which could become fairly hot being in the sun and feel like a fever but not really be a fever.

Answer

I work at a pediatric hospital and we use the armpit ones, even for our tiny NICU babies! You can get a falsely low temperature with the ear one of you don't put it in far enough. That being said, I'd pick the ear one over the forehead one!

Answer

They say the ear one isn't the best bc a lot of times when babies are sick they also have ear infections. The ear infections will always cause a high temp. The most reliable as not fun as it is, is a rectal thermometer
