Pacifier Thermometer

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Anyone even use one?  What do you think?  I never heard of it before then I ran to walgreens and I saw it and thought ??  maybe?  I'm really NOT confortable with the ideal of having to put a thermometer in my LO butt when that time comes.

Thoughts?

    You really really have to get ok with it.  Using another kind is fine but if it comes up higher than normal it's very important to get a rectal temp because it's the most accurate and fevers in newborns are very dangerous.  Seriously though, it'

    We received a rectal thermometer at discharge.  As everyone said, it's not so bad.  I've already had to do it a few times.  DD is quite wiggly, but I believe the results have been accurate.  You basically just need to get the silver ti

    We do have a thermometer for rectal.  If I have to take it I will I just dont want to take a rectal temp unless I really have to if I get a pac thermometer it would be for 1st use ONLY and if Im still worried then I will use the rectal one.

    Probably not very accurate.  Get an ear kind if you just want a quick, non-rectal one.  Then you can use it for years to come.

    I've never taken my DDs temp rectally. My Dr accepts auxillary (armpit) temps as long as I tell them that's how I took it. (That's how they take it too, if I take DD in when she is sick). Basically just add 1 degree to what you get in their armpit, and
