When my children have fevers, they typically spike during the middle of the night. This has always concerned me, so any time they're feeling under the weather, I watch them like a hawk. It's not unusual for me to get up 6 or 7 times per night to check on them.
If you're familiar with night time fevers, you know how nerve-wracking they can be. You want to let your child sleep, but sometimes it's necessary to check their temperature. Often times, because your baby is already irritable, this leads to tears and fits which makes for a pretty poor night's rest.
Luckily, now we have the technology to take a child's temperature without having to mess with disposable attachments and without having to wake them up. Non-contact infrared thermometers have made it possible to get accurate temperature readings within seconds, all with the push of a button.
I recently had the opportunity to try the Santa Medical Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer. What I love most about this thermometer is that it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. For less than $50, you can get your own infrared thermometer.
The thermometer provides accurate readings within seconds. It can also be switched from Fahrenheit to Celsius and features a backlight that can be switched on or off depending on your preference.
Be sure to read the instruction manual in it's entirety before use to make sure that you're getting the most accurate readings.
My children really like this thermometer and love that they don't have to put it under their tongue, in their ear, or under their arm. It's super easy to use, easy to hold, and the readings are quick!
Overall, I am satisfied with the thermometer. Calibration was a little tricky, but other than that, it's become quite the handy tool in our household.
