This post is to help the moms and dads out there when in the market for a thermometer for the kids. Most of us get knocked up and head to babies r us to make the registry not having a clue what to get. We were those parents 3 kids ago! And you really end up learning the hard way. Trial and error. For us, a good reliable thermometer is important. We have a child with febrile seizures. And we have gone through a lot of thermometers. We tried a lot of different brands and methods and they all ended up in the garbage.
I was a PACU nurse for a bit and the unit had Exergen temporal thermometers, hospital grade. But those things were amazing. Just a lap around the forehead of a patient ending up behind their ear and voila! Well, Exergen makes a thermometer for everybody. I was shopping and as soon as I saw the name I knew that was our thermometer. I don't remember what we paid because it was a while back but it is now $34.99 at Target. Best money spent especially now that we take little guys temp at least three times a day. It takes a 9v battery and you just clean the tip with alcohol every now and again.
And with all these bugs going on at this time of year, this thing is getting a work out!
