Product Information

While it takes about a minute for the correct room temperature to be displayed, parent tester, Laura, has found it hugely reassuring, particularly during the warmer months. She says, "I’ve found the Groegg2 to be both accurate and consistent when measuring it against the readings of my home’s Hive thermostat system. While there’s usually a difference of 0.2 degrees between the two readings, the results are close enough for me to feel reassured of the Groegg2's accuracy. I used it daily during a heatwave when my daughter was a newborn." We hope you find this information helpful as you learn more about what makes Braun your professional partner when it comes to monitoring your family's body temperature. While you will need to remember to change the cap regularly, the thermometer is ergonomically designed so that you can press the cap release button with your index finger while holding the thermometer in the way you would when taking your child’s temperature.

It’s usually not something to worry about and is a sign that your child’s body is fighting an infection. Usually a temperature comes down in three to four days.

The Braun ThermoScan 7 is a smart digital in-ear thermometer that uses infrared technology to measure your baby’s body temperature by gently scanning their ear. The Braun No Touch and Touch Forehead Thermometer takes your baby’s temperature using infrared technology on their forehead (or it can be touched to the forehead to use on yourself) in just a couple of seconds from up to 5cm away. A high temperature is officially 38°C but, even if it’s lower than that and you have concerns, it’s always worth seeking medical advice.
