How to use a baby thermometer?
The way you need to use a thermometer depends on the type, and it’s best to follow the instructions provided.
Some forehead thermometers are contactless, meaning you don’t have to wake up your little one just after getting them to sleep. In contrast, others require you to lightly press the thermometer on their forehead and sweep across the temple.
For ear thermometers, gently insert the thermometer's tip into the baby’s ear canal.
It’s essential to check that the thermometer is clean before each use and try to keep your baby still during the temperature reading for accurate results.
How do I know if my baby has a temperature?
A baby's normal temperature can vary slightly, but a reading above 38°C (100.4°F) is generally considered a fever.
However, it's important to note that temperature alone doesn't always indicate illness.
Look for other signs, such as changes in behavior, appetite, or sleep patterns. Consult with a healthcare professional if you're concerned about your baby's temperature or overall health.
How often should I take my baby's temperature?
The frequency of temperature checks depends on your baby's condition.
- If your child seems unwell, you may want to monitor their temperature every few hours.
- For a baby with a confirmed fever, more frequent measurements might be necessary to track changes.
- Avoid excessive temperature taking, as it may cause stress for you and your baby.
Remember, while thermometers are valuable tools for monitoring your baby's health, they should be used with other observations and professional medical advice.
