A baby thermometer is one of the most important pieces of
baby equipment that parents need to buy. In fact many parents buy more than
one. Several high end thermometers can take different kinds of temperatures so
that parents can take several readings to help them know for sure if a child
has a fever. Having a reliable and high quality baby thermometer is essential
for parents.
There are several different types of baby thermometers on
the market and each takes a baby's temperature differently. Here is a brief
look at the different types of baby thermometers and how they work: Thermomètre

Oral thermometers: Oral thermometers are often shaped like
pacifiers to make them easier for a baby to hold onto in their mouths. This
type of thermometer takes the baby's internal temperature. It must be held
under the baby's tongue for two minutes in order to get an accurate reading.
Even though this is the type of thermometer that many parents grew up with it
is not the most accurate thermometer on the market today. Oral thermometers are
usually best for older children who can hold it under their tongues easily.
Ear thermometers: These are similar to the thermometers that
pediatricians use and they are considered the best for parents to use on
children that are six months or older. The thermometer probe is covered with a
small plastic sleeve that can be removed and throw away. It can be easily
slipped inside the ear, even if the baby is sleeping, and it takes a digital
reading of the baby's temperature in just three seconds.
Forehead thermometers: These can be very accurate tools for
assessing a child's fever by measuring heat omissions. It generally takes only
a couple of seconds to get an accurate reading using a forehead thermometer.
These thermometers can be used on children of any age.
Underarm thermometers: These can be digital or analog. The
probe on the thermometer sits in the baby's armpit to measure the temperature.
Analog thermometers take about five minutes to give an accurate reading.
Digital ones can give readings in just seconds. Just like forehead thermometers
these can be used on babies and children of any age.
Rectal thermometers: Taking a baby's temperature using a
rectal thermometer usually is more uncomfortable for the parent than the baby
but it can cause the baby some distress. The probe should always be lubricated with
some petroleum jelly to make it easier to insert. Only about a quarter of the
probe needs to be inserted to get a good reading. It usually takes about two
minutes to get the rectal temperature.
Pediatricians recommend that parents practice using baby thermometers
so that they become familiar with not only the process of taking a baby's
temperature but reading the results. Being able to accurately read the results
can cause parents less anxiety when the baby does have a fever. It also helps
the parents know when the child's fever is serious enough to require a doctor's
care. Read
