Tommee Tippee No Touch Forehead Thermometer

Product Information

Once you’ve activated it, it only takes a couple of seconds for the thermometer to display the temperature in its surrounding area, whether that’s the room it’s in, or the water you’ve placed it in. In the bathtub, the thermometer will show you whether you need to add more hot or cold water to get just the right spa environment temperature for your little one which should be in the range of 36.5°C and 38°C. If the water gets to 39°C or above, a red warning light comes on letting you know it’s too hot. 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.

In addition, the thermometer allows you to select the user's age group, including newborn to 3 months, 3 to 36 months, and 36 months and up. However, it's important to remember that the AAP doesn't recommend ear thermometers for babies under 6 months old due to their small ear canals that can result in unreliable readings. Rectal: All our experts agree that a rectal thermometer will give you the most accurate results for infants under 3 months. According to Dr. Amin and Dr. Patilla, this type of baby thermometer gives you the body's core temperature—unlike ear and forehead thermometers, which may be influenced by warmth on the skin's surface. An important note: Once you use a thermometer rectally, that should be its only purpose going forward, so be sure to label it. Calpol and other infant pain relief can help to bring down a fever.

The digital thermometer stores the last 20 readings allowing you to monitor baby's temperature over time with ease.

Be aware that placing the nightlight/thermometer or the monitor near a window or radiator can skew the readings so it’s always best to put it as close to the baby’s cot as possible to get the most accurate reading.
