I know most pediatricians recommend taking the dreaded rectal temperature, but here’s an alternative if you have a “pacifier baby.”</p> <p>Though there were some mixed reviews on Amazon about <a class="" href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000A32LWC/?target=babble.com-20">Summer’s Infant Pacifier Thermometer, for $7.99</a> it’s probably worth a try. For babies used to sucking on a pacifier it seems to work well. When the reading is done it beeps and if a fever is present the screen will glow red. It’s also a good option if you need to take a sleeping baby’s temperature. </p><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=93333" width="1" height="1">pacifiersbaby carefeverthermometersSummer Infant Pacifier Themometersick
