When I was kid, my mom was obsessed with forehead thermometers. They were way easier to use on my brother and I since we would wiggle and run anytime we saw my mother break out her under-the-tongue thermometer. So I was excited to see the Mr. Sneeze Forehead Thermometer. Click behind the fold to read more.

You just hold the thermometer to the child's forehead until the green indicator shows up on the temperature. It measures in both °F and °C. A reading can be provided pain free in just 15 seconds, making temperature taking way easier. Click on over to The Spoon Sisters and get one for just $7.50.

Baby’s Sick: Suck on This

We may be at the tail end of cold and flu season, but with a newborn it’s always helpful to have a thermometer on hand. I know most pediatricians recommend taking the dreaded rectal temperature, but here’s an alternative if you have a “pacifier baby.”

Though there were some mixed reviews on Amazon about Summer’s Infant Pacifier Thermometer, for $7.99 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.
