Can anyome recommend a decent thermometer?
Hi all, haven't been on here for a while but my little one is now 5 months old!! I currently have the calpol digital thermometer which I find totally useless. One day his temperature varied from 33 to 37.9 in the space of an hour!! I don't trust it one bit. Can anyone recommend one that is a little more reliable and not going to break the bank?
Thanks
Nina

The Braun Thermoscan is the business!
It's very accurate...
Around here, all of the doctors surgeries and hospitals use them because they are so good..
Best place to get it is Amazon as it's always on offer there!
Hope this helps

and love it! It is quite pricey at ??40 but if yo ucollect boots points, you get triple on them - worth nearly ??5 so not so bad.
We have never found a problem with it - always acccurate and the battery seems to last forever!!

I think where health is concerned, it's worth shelling out a little bit more for a good one if you can afford it - just for reassurance. The Thermoscan is very quick and very accurate - I think it's worth it.

Thanks again
Strange how advice can be so different isn't it!
Not arguing btw, just saying my experience xxxx

I see this thread is old, but wanted to contribute anyways, for we've been super happy with our Kinsa stick thermometer and highly recommend it to others w/ infants. It plugs directly into your smartphone and takes quick readings, is super accurate and tracks your temp history for all members of the family, in the app! When your baby has a fever it gives you tips on what to do next to help. This has been one of the best baby purchases to date, love it!
