Braun Thermoscan
Advantages: Ultimate reassurance, high accuracy, so simple to use Disadvantages: A bit pricey
...trawl around and found the Braun Thermoscan on special offer on the Boots website. Normally retailing at just under 40 pounds, we managed to pick it up for just under 30pounds, a real bargain.
It really is so simple, switch it on, wait for 3 digital lines to appear, press the button, put it in her ear and within 2 seconds it beeps to tell you the temperture has been recorded. Thats it!! Simplicity. Now of course I then check time and time again ... ...with the same temperature each time so I feel quite confident about its accuracy.
It comes with disposable earpieces so as not to spread any infection, very clear directions, and its own case for easy storage.
Another great baby buy, I may be neurotic but from personal experience I know it is better to be safe than sorry, and if it only takes 2 seconds to be safe, then bring it on!! ...

Grobag Egg - Keeping a close eye on the temperature.
Advantages: Great device, funky lights, looks good in a nursery. Disadvantages: None.
The Grobag Egg is a night light that is designed to keep a close monitor on the temperature in your child's bedroom or nursery and it is easy to see because it lights up and this also means that you can peer in to your children's room without having to disturb their sleep or alert them to your presence. The device is egg shaped with a permanent back lit LCD readout and the actual temperature is display so you can be aware of whether the temperature ... ...adjust things accordingly to ensure that your baby is kept warm at all times. The ideal temperature is 16-20 degrees and the temperature colour gauges are listed below: Cold - Blue - Under 16 degrees Ideal - Yellow - 16-20 degrees Warm - Orange - 20-24 degrees Hot - Red - Over 24 degrees I think that this is a fantastic safety feature for watching over your child and ensuring that their room is kept to the correct temperature at all times as a high ...

A penguin that checks your temperature!
Advantages: 10 memory function, silent, penguin design Disadvantages: ummmm can't think!
I really like this new design of thermometer. It's really sleek and nice looking with it's shape being like a penguin I think it's a great twist on a thermometer.
One of the first ways to tell if your baby is poorly is by checking it's temperature. Checking the temperature in time in some illnesses can be the best prevention of further complications and so the majority of parents have a thermometer in their bathroom cupboards for just this reason.
... ...which is supposed to come across as less intimidating for your children and I think it's a great idea! It's tall and slender with slightly wide 'feet' at the base and a wing carved into it. It is white and blue and the shape of it makes it very easy to hold- with the penguin design now effecting it's practicality. It takes 1 second to do the reading and it doesn't beep it is completely silent which is great as it doesn't have to disturb your child ...

Feeling hot, hot, hot?!
Advantages: Easy to use, quick measurement, good for use on children, cheap Disadvantages: None
...made by a company called ETI which stands for Electronic Temperature Instruments. After a browse on their website, it's clear they make all sorts of thermometers, from industrial to cooking to medical ones such as this. This particular thermometer is just called a Digital Ear Thermometer, and is in the "Home" section of their website. The thermometer itself is white and turquoise plastic, with a digital display on the inside of the handle, and the ... ...then I wholeheartedly recommend this ETI digital one. It is an easy way to take a person's temperature, doesn't cause pain or irritation and is done in just 1 minute. I feel confident in checking Harry because of this, and for the price I think it is an excellent piece of technology. As I mentioned the thermometer cost me £12 delivered on Ebay, but is available from the ETI website at www.etiltd.co.uk. You can buy probe covers for £4 for 40 (exc. ...

Fun looking but dubious temperature reading
Advantages: Coloured glow is easy to read Disadvantages: Inaccurate temperature reading
...subjects as SIDS. The Grobag egg is a digital thermometer and night light with a clear display and colour coded glows to warn parents of too warm or cold a room. The egg is a well designed and fun accessory to any room and provides a nice glow to keep baby feeling safe too.
We were initially quite obsessive with room temperature as baby was born in a particularly strange period of weather ranging from snow to warm sun in a couple of weeks. As the ... ...When we then bought a grobag it came with a simple card thermometer which told you exactly what to clothe baby in for whatever the temperature was. The reading on the card matched the baby monitor and NOT the Grobag egg so we now only use the egg for its aesthetics and nice glow. ...
