What kind of baby thermometer do you have?

I still need one of these and have noticed there are so many different types.

Thanks!

We have two.  An armpit one and a rectal one.  The rectal one came in a kit and has a short tip so ya don't stick it in too far. 

I think both came from Target.  The brand is American Red Cross, they are grey and white and you can find them at a bunch of stores.

We use the armpit one a lot but have used the rectal one when DD's temp was really high and we called the pedi about it.  Usually a pedi will tell you to take the temp rectally.  If you take it by armpit or ear you have to add a degree to equal a rectal temp which I found was true.

Also armpit & rectal. We use the armpit first and then if it registers high, I check with rectal to get a more accurate temp.

We generally use a Vick's rectal one and I really like it--short so you know how far to stick it in and it's quick.  We also have a armpit/oral one that has multiple tips that go in the dishwasher which I thought would be great if we have multiple sickos in the house.

We have the rectal one that can also be used in the mouth (but it's hard to do since it takes awhile to read the temp and the babies squirm)--the rectal came in handy when they were newborns/first few months.

We recently bought the pacifier thermometer (think its Red Cross)--the girls love their pacis so this is an easy disguise for taking temps.

We have one that you can take the temperature from the ear, I think it's the brand is something with "summer" in it...it's awesome as it only takes a few seconds it's green when they do not have a fever and is red when they do and records the last temp taken
