My PD says the most accurate one is those traditional stick in a** kind. Else, in ear is better. Cos the forehead kind, temperature may varies depending on which side baby is lying on too

The type you insert in the armpit is still the best for babies under 3 months. At 3 months, the ear thermometer would be an excellent choice. I’m using Braun.

Ear is more accurate than forehead but might be an issue to use ear thermometer when less than 3 months as their ears would be very small.
