My paediatrician says they're unreliable.

lol chai! i was told that too!

by a doctor, a nurse and a consultant paediatrician no less!
(all independently of one another too)

what did they recommend using instead?

I am sometimes surprised by the results it gives tbh.

But they use similar ones in hosp.

they all recommended a digital underarm thermometer.

they said that they are inaccurate because most parents will not position it correctly, mostly because they're too scared of pushing it in too far etc etc
so can be very inaccurate... in fact, our hospital doesn't use them any mroe either for the same reason

lol, I remember how far into my ear the MWs wedged them after my c-section, so I try and do similar with ds .

woohoooo i won i so wanted one of these it's made my day

what do i need to do to claim this???
