Not very convenient. Especially if baby decides to relieve himself at that moment.
Or if the baby is a toddler who kicks and screams and refuses to cooperate
Agreed but they have really fast ones that will give you a reading before the child knows what hit him.
Pediatrician told me to use regular thermometer under armpit
Just use a 5 second rectal with vasaline.I have an Exergen and it's horrible. It's basically a scam. They advertise great accuracy, but that's for the $400 professional version.
I had the iproven until last week. I physically destroyed it in a rage after seeing wildly inaccurate numbers time and again when my whole family was sick.
Just read that the iproven is supposed to be used only for age 6 months and up I've been using it for a newborn...
