Thanks, I will still get one anyway I think. I've spotted one at a pharmacy for $95 which my SIL has used and was happy with so I might get one of those. ]]> Thu, 22 Nov 2007 07:02:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12422&PID=250397&title=ear-thermometers#250397 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12422&PID=250221&title=ear-thermometers#250221 Author: miss

I find ours really hard to use and get an accurate reading on and it wasn't a cheap one.

They would say not for very young babies due to ear canal size, whcih would make it harder to get a reading if you weren't exactly sure what you are doing I am guessing.]]> Wed, 21 Nov 2007 19:13:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12422&PID=250221&title=ear-thermometers#250221 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12422&PID=250207&title=ear-thermometers#250207 Author: caraMel

I'm not sure why they would say that, both my babies had their temp checked by professionals using the ear thermometers too.
Make sure you buy a well known brand of thermometer Amber, some of the cheaper ones (often found on TradeMe) are very inaccurate and are a total waste of money.]]> Wed, 21 Nov 2007 18:56:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12422&PID=250207&title=ear-thermometers#250207 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12422&PID=250198&title=ear-thermometers#250198 Author: .Mel

Not sure, my gp checked Coopers temperature with an ear one. I've got one and use it on all of the kids.]]> Wed, 21 Nov 2007 18:12:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12422&PID=250198&title=ear-thermometers#250198 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12422&PID=250193&title=ear-thermometers#250193 Author: Freesia

I've just been browsing the net trying to find an ear thermometer but have come across a few sites that say that they shouldn't be used on small babies. Does anyone know why this is? I had never heard this and can't see what the harm is. I'm guessing that they're just trying to push the new forehead thermometers perhaps???]]> Wed, 21 Nov 2007 18:05:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12422&PID=250193&title=ear-thermometers#250193
