Where can I buy a thermometer?

[ChittyChittyBoomBoom]

I’ve look on amazon, eBay, Boots, Superdrug and Argos and they’re all sold out 😩.
Anyone know of anywhere please?

Try looking at baby care sets, the type with nail clippers in. Some of them have thermometers in them.

Ovulation thermometers can be used as normal thermometers!

In baby toiletries aisle in supermarket or small chemist

Natural Cycles fertility tracker sells them for about £10 I think

Seem to be loads on amazon?

I've bought about 5 or 6 over the last few years, always paying really close attention to the reviews and trying to buy a good one. I've never had one that gives a consistent reading and have always ended up just seeing whether my children look hot and clammy. They're always 35.3 in one ear and 38.4 in the other. I hate the bloody things.

I hate the thermometers, not my children, to clarify.

I got one in an independent pharmacy. It’s not great, I have to put in my mouth for one minute and I’m not sure how accurate it is . When I tried it under my arm ( as per instructions) it told me my temperature was 33 degrees.

Thank you. I’m a bit dubious about the accuracy of the cheaper/ovulation type thermometers.

Anyone had one that’s fairly accurate/consistent?

Ocado have them if doing an order anyway.

Don't give up on Boots.
I went to pick up my prescription yesterday and they'd just put out some Braun ones on the otherwise empty shelf so they are obviously still getting them in now and again.
It was £49 though!

Website did say they were out of stock but obviously not correct and some stores getting them. ( Smallish town)

How much were infrared forehead thermometers before all of this? They're around £50 on Amazon. Have a baby on the way and need to get one but like OP said, sold out everywhere 😓. Don't want to pay over the odds now if they are likely to go down before baby comes.

theres loads on ebay?

I can't see them coming down in price ever now tbh.

Please don't buy baby the thermometers unless you have a baby, I've been trying to get one for weeks for my impending new born (5 weeks) and struggling

Selected Asda stores had some in today. Tomee tippee £37.99.

@Ginfilledcats I think people that need them now are more in need than a baby that's not been born yet. Plus if your baby is well you won't need one so urgently anyway. Quite pfb if you ask me!! Jeez.

I got a meat thermometer for Christmas (£4 ASDA) to do the turkey and just pop it under an armpit if I’m concerned about a fever 🤷🏼‍♀️ Gets a good clean in between obviously!

So you don't have a baby yet, but you're telling other people not to buy unless they have a baby.

If your newborn is hot enough that you want to take their temperature, they'll need medical attention anyway, tbh.

Thank you. I hadn’t thought of Asda so will keep checking there too. None in my local Superdrug or Boots today (small town).
