The Best Baby Thermometers (updated 2020)
A thermometer is a must-have item for any parent with a baby or small child. Babies and children are prone to infections and being able to monitor their temperature is essential.
There is a wide range of digital thermometers available. Old-school mercury thermometers are now no longer recommended due to health and environmental concerns.
What Type of Digital Thermometer?
Ear thermometers (Tympanic) provide the most accurate and quick readings in babies and small children. However, other types of thermometer are available. Forehead thermometers may be better tolerated by the child, however, these are less accurate. Rectal thermometers also provide very accurate readings but are less common.
