What's the best way to take baby's temperature?

For starters, you'll need a good digital thermometer, which you can find in drugstores for less than $10. Digital thermometers are easy to use, easy to read, and fast — most give an accurate reading in ten seconds to two minutes.


Don’t use an old-fashioned glass thermometer. These thermometers can shatter and leak dangerous mercury.


My suggestion is to use digital ear thermometers. This type of thermometer usually more expensive and can only be used in the ear, however you can get the result in a second.
