Product Information

Cons: Typically more expensive than other types, accuracy can vary if you don't hold the thermometer at the correct distance from the forehead It’s very easy to use. First press a button to choose the person’s age range, then take their temperature by popping the flexible tip under their tongue or underarm. You’ll get a reading on the large LCD display within eight seconds (some buyers say it’s faster than that), plus a colour-coded signal that reveals whether the result is low, healthy or high according to age. If a fever is detected, the thermometer will beep 10 times – mercifully not loud enough to frighten little ones! If your baby’s temperature is extremely high and does not come down with paracetamol or ibuprofen at the paediatrician’s suggestion, call an ambulance. If the baby is under 8 weeks old and has a high fever, call an ambulance immediately. In every scenario, ensure that the baby is getting plenty of fluids, is wearing minimal clothing, and do not try to cool the child down by way of ice baths, fans, or cold compresses. Here’s a helpful list of dos and don’t from the NHS for you to bookmark for when/if your child has a high temperature. This thermometer stores 25 memory readings, allowing you to easily monitor your baby’s temperature over a period of time.

The iProven thermometer is a basic oral and rectal thermometer for kids and people of all ages, from newborns to adults. First, you'll want to decide how to use the thermometer. If you're going to use it as a rectal thermometer for a newborn, label it as such to avoid any future confusion. If you prefer an ear thermometer, we recommend this one from Equate. It comes with disposable probe covers, though we found it delivered the most consistently accurate results when we did not use the caps (and made sure to sanitize it after, of course). To get a reading, pull the ear up and insert the probe, and you’ll have a reading in 3-5 seconds if used correctly. During our test, we found that there was a learning curve to find the correct position, but once we did, we got pretty consistent results. We also like how easy it is to pop the probe caps off to dispose of them.

To find the best baby thermometers, we researched safety guidelines issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). We also spoke to parents, caregivers, and medical professionals, including Eric Ascher, DO, a family medicine physician at Lenox Hill Hospital; Melanie Pitone, MD, board-certified in pediatrics and pediatric emergency medicine, and medical editor at Nemours KidsHealth; Mona Amin, DO, a board-certified general pediatrician based in Florida; Tamika Patilla, MD, a pediatrician at Akron Children's Hospital; and Amanda Stovall, MD, an Illinois-based board-certified pediatrician. A pediatrician from our Review Boardexamined the contents of this article for accuracy and safety in correspondence to proper use.With this guidance in mind, we researched dozens of top-rated baby thermometers in the market, considering their design, ease of setup and use, responsiveness, data readability, consistency, and overall value. We then narrowed our list to 25 baby thermometers, which we put through multiple tests at the Verywell Testing Lab in New York City.

One of the most important qualities of a thermometer is accuracy. You want to be able to rely on the results to help you make the best health decisions for yourself and your family. A rectal thermometer will deliver the most accurate results for babies under 6 months—particularly those under 3 months. For kids ages 4 and up, a digital thermometer used orally is the most precise method, says Dr. Stovall. However, temporal thermometers, particularly non-touch ones, are convenient for screening otherwise healthy children, she adds. You can tell if you or your child has a fever immediately: If a high fever is detected, the thermometer will beep six times and the display will flash red. For a low-grade fever, there are four beeps and a yellow display, and for a normal temperature, it beeps once and the display turns green. Additionally, it can measure surfaces like bath water or formula to make sure they're the right temperature for little ones, and the temperature is displayed in a large font so it's readable. Oral: Oral thermometers, like the Boncare Digital Thermometer, have a tip designed to slide under the tongue. The user must hold it until the thermometer has time to capture their temperature. While this type of thermometer is safe for all ages, it's often difficult for little kids, toddlers, and babies to sit still long enough for an accurate reading.
