Ways to use the thermometers
The most convenient way to measure your baby’s temperature is to use
the soother thermometer according to this user manual. This method
gives a reliable indication. If you need additional reassurance (for example
if the first measured temperature is above 38°C), you can then use the
digital flexible-tip thermometer to take an axial (underarm) or a rectal
(anal) measurement.
Note: Oral measurements are usually 0.5 to 1°C lower than the actual body
temperature.
Childrens’ temperature
The temperature of a child is normally between 36.5 and 37.5°C.
However, you have to keep in mind that a child’s temperature varies
depending on age, activity, time of day, etc. Also remember that some
illnesses do not have high temperature as a symptom.Temperature
measurement should not be a substitute for consulting your physician.
When reporting your child’s temperature to a professional, state the
measurement method.
Soother thermometer
The most convenient way to measure your baby’s temperature is to use
the soother thermometer. This is also the most comfortable method for
the baby.
Do not use the soother thermometer for 30 minutes after the baby
has had hot or cold drinks, as this causes an inaccurate measurement.
never use the soother thermometer as a regular soother.
