CraftyShopper’s Best Baby Thermometer

Choosing the best baby thermometer depends on who you are trying to get readings from.  There a variety of options which can make trying to get an accurate temperature reading  easier or more difficult.  For example infrared thermometer design like non-contact infrared or forehead infrared thermometers are great for taking readings from fussy babies or sleeping children.  Although for some they can be difficult in getting consistently accurate readings due to external factors like sweat, wrong positioning or improper handling.  Infrared ear thermometers are the most fool proof of infrared thermometers but can still get inaccurate readings if the probe is dirty with ear wax or not pointing correctly in the ear canal.  Still the most foolproof of any thermometers is the classic oral thermometer or  rectal thermometer.  Although fussy babies may not give you the proper amount of time to get an accurate reading.  Consider all these factors when choosing the best baby thermometer for your family.
