For children over 1 year, pull up on the ear first before pulling back. If you're unsure how to use the device, ask your pediatrician to show you. Braun's ThermoScan IRT-3520 takes eight readings in one second and displays the highest one. Measures forehead skin temperature using the same technology as ear thermometers. Simply glide the product across your baby's forehead, temple, and hairline to get a reading.
Baby sucks on a pacifier that conceals a digital thermometer.
A screen on the front gives results. Similar pacifiers from Safety 1st, The First Years, and Apex beep when a reading has been taken. Place the thermometer under your baby's arm and hold his arm down firmly over his chest. The First Years ComforTemp instant digital underarm thermometer gives a reading in less than 3 seconds.
