Thermometers

Can anyone recommend a good baby thermometer? My sister has told me to get one that goes in babys ear with an instant reading, but there are so many out there, I can't choose!

Also, what should the babys temperature be between?

Thanks

    If I bought a thermometer I would buy an ear one as underarm ones take to long and it's a pain trying to keep baby still and forehead ones don't take an accurate body temp just the forehead. Can't advise on any good makes.

    However I once took my daughter to the doctors and he told me never worry about a thermometer as a childs fever will always spike higher than an adults making you worry it's more than it is. He said always feel their hands and feet as these are the coolest part of their bodies and if these feel really hot then it is time to worrry.
