I always use rectal thermometer in the baby is I am worried and try to get my older one to hold it under his arm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-new-thermometer#post-2801504 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 20:52:11 +0000 lady baltimore 2801504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peachykeen: According to what I have read, the readings are supposed to be different.

I find it easier for my toddler to tolerate than the forehead swipe kind that i also have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-new-thermometer#post-2801408 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 14:06:57 +0000 peachykeen 2801408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady baltimore: We've had this one for a few years and I can never get an accurate reading! The forehead and ear give me totally different readings :bummed: Maybe I just got a dud?</p> <p>Finally gave up and bought an Exergen temporal, which I do trust but I also follow-up with either rectal thermometer for baby or underarm for big girl if I'm worried about a high reading. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-new-thermometer#post-2801402 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 13:50:06 +0000 jhd 2801402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following because I need a new one too!</p> <p>@lady baltimore: that’s really neat to have both the forehead and ear options </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-new-thermometer#post-2801400 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 13:33:21 +0000 Mamaof2 2801400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady baltimore: oh that's a cool feature! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-a-new-thermometer#post-2801309 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 11:08:20 +0000 lady baltimore 2801309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one that has both.
