Baby thermometer

[DialMforMummy]

Hi all, can someone recommend a thermometer that can measure quickly the temperature from the ear?
I already have one (brother Max) but it takes a bit too long to measure the temperature and as result it is almost impossible to measure the temperature on a wriggly toddler.
Thank you.

I have got the nurofen one, it was about 15quid and it beeps within a couple of seconds. It gives you the temperature plus a green, orange or red face depending on whether the child has a high temp.
I think Braun do a highly recommended one but that is 30quid or so and the nurofen one does the trick for less money!

I've got a cheap calpol one (probably similar to the nurofen one!)

I have a Braun one.it takes a couple of seconds. Our GP uses the same one.
If you have advantage card points it might be worth using them to buy one in Boots?

I second the Braun one (I have the Braun Thermoscan). It's used in hospitals round here. Bit pricier than the others but really worth it.

The probe/ear cover thingies cost extra but you really can use them more than once if you are testing on the same child/family.

The Nurofen one I tried just kept giving me an error and taking too long.
