May i know which thermometer is best for babies? I have the braun in ear thermometer, but can't seem to go into my girl's ear and turn out not accurate. She's 6 month old. Is a forehead scanning thermometer better?

Armpit thermometers :) Ear thermometers are not always well received by young children, especially if they had a bad experience with things near their ears or with a clinic visit - it also has the risk of injuring the ear when LO tries to struggle away! For infrared thermometers, LO's forehead is not big enough for an accurate reading - so they're usually recommended for much older children or adults. As for armpit thermometers, it's a little easier to convince your child about it because the most that will irritate her is a cold tip! You can then firmly hold her arm down to take the measurement.
