Frida Baby Rectal Thermometer

Pediatrician recommended rectal. We use the Frida baby one and the whole idea of taking a rectal temp also freaked me out at first, in practice it wasn't that bad. I liked the Friday baby one because the probe is small so you can be assured you're not going to put it in too far. Just used a dab of aquaphor and she doesn't even notice I'm putting it in.

Looks like you have a newborn. Rectal is most accurate(rectal is always most accurate, but especially for newborns). Is there a reason you're taking temp? I like the Frida baby with a stopper because you run the risk of puncturing the bowel if you're not careful. Id try to limit temp taking to if baby feels too warm or cold, and if the temp is low/high take her to the doctor so they can assess best.

I use the Frida 3 in 1 thermometer, it's very accurate for axillary temperature.

Frida Baby has a thermometer can be used as an oral, rectal, or underarm thermometer. To be used rectally, it folds in half to prevent you from inserting it too far and has a little flash light. The same brand also has the snot sucker, both manual and electric. I have both and think the manual one is better. I've even used it on myself when my allergies got really bad! The concept seems gross, but the snot gets nowhere near your mouth!

I would get a rectal thermometer. The Frida Baby one is very easy to use without inserting it too far.

Just a Frida rectal thermometer. It works well. Our doc only recommends rectal til 3. If it's a moment that rectal temp absolutely isn't happening, just a CVS brand oral/armpit thermometer works fine. We take armpit temp knowing it calibrates .5-1 degree lower than rectal.

I know the Frida is highly recommended but we had two extremely incorrect temps with it. We actually were told to go to the ED, and thankfully ran to the store for a different one before going. LO was only 3 months and it had said 102 but it was really under 100. I read a bunch of other reviews that said similarly after that incident.
