Baby thermometres and white vinegar

[Zoero]

Hello all, happy new year!

Two weeks to go until my due date and I'm shopping for the last bits n' bobs for our new baby. I'm trying to find a thermometre which takes the baby's temperature (we've already got a room thermometre) and there are a few out there but I don't want to commit to buying something that might end up being a bit naff. I've read that we shouldn't take baby's temperature rectally, but the Avent thermometre says that this can be used rectally, so I'm a bit confused. Anyone found a really good thermometre? And if so, in which ways can it be used to take baby's temperature?

Also, desperately trying to find white vinegar to wash our second-hand washable nappies that are a bit hard-feeling. Anyone know the best place to buy this stuff?

Thanks for any advice!

Cheers xx

you can get white vinegar in big canisters online from summernaturals.co.uk/ fairly cheap - marvelous stuff

i used a braun ear thermometer but only if i thought dd was poorly it's not something you need to do frequently.
