How to Choose A Baby Thermometer<\/h2>\n

Whatever type of thermometer you choose, it should be easy to use and comfortable for your child. Check out the following guidelines when buying a thermometer for your baby.<\/p>\n

Accuracy and Response Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most thermometers are able to provide an accurate reading within 10-80 seconds, depending on the model. Newer models, such as infrared thermometers take just 1 to 3 seconds. It really depends on your preference, but sometimes, you will appreciate the versions with quick response times especially when you have a fussy baby who doesn\u2019t want anything, not even a thermometer, to bother him.<\/p>\n

Consistency<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You want a thermometer that gives accurate readings every single time. Inconsistent readouts may cause you to misdiagnose your baby and can lead to an unnecessary visit to the doctor, which is both expensive and stressful!<\/p>\n

Features<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some thermometers have soft or curved tips for ease of use and comfort. However, most soft-tip thermometers don\u2019t work when used rectally so read the packaging carefully. Thermometers with backlit display and bigger digits would make it easier for you to read temperatures at night or in low light. If you’re taking a rectal temperature, a line or mark to show the end of insertion is a very important feature to prevent injury.<\/p>\n

Some versions have fever alert features such as a special beep or a change in the display color when the temperature has exceeded 99.5 degrees F. Others have an ability to record the last temperature taken which is important in tracking the fever of your baby. Some also feature auto shutdown to preserve battery life. You need not have all these features. It always depends on what works for your lifestyle and suits your needs.<\/p>\n

Safety<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some thermometers may come with protective case covers and other accessories that could pose a choking hazard. If the model you\u2019re buying includes small parts, keep them out of your child\u2019s reach. Also, any thermometer that comes in contact with your baby will need to be sanitized so choosing the model which is easy to clean is a great idea.<\/p>\n

To sum up, the best thermometers for babies do more than just read temperatures. They are also equipped with helpful features that make it easy for you to keep track of your baby\u2019s condition, alert you when he\u2019s not getting better, and give you accurate and consistent readings every single time.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
