Is this thermometer appropriate for babies?

I would think so. I don't have kids, but you don't place it very far into the ear canal. You might research it online at the Braun website to see what they say. Ask your pediatrician.

Yes, it should sutible for newborns. Although I haven't tried it on a newborn yet (my son isn't due for another 4months), I don't see why it would work. This type of thermometer is used by most pediatricians. My 2yr old daughter didn't mind having her temp checked.

Yes, this thermometer is appropriate for babies. My daughter brought one to me to check my infant grand daughter's temp throughout the day. It is so easy to use that I purchased one for my household.

Yes, that is what I am using mine for. I started using it on him at 10 months, but you can use it much earlier than that.
2071777
YES! So much easier than the other way;o) I think the temp could be off by one or two 10ths...but a fever is a fever. They say not to check both ears, but I always do. I recommend.

Absolutely! I've been using it since my oldest daughter was born (she's 5.5) and also with my 15 month old daughter

I have used this on my four children since birth (my biggest baby being 5 and half pounds when I brought him home) and my pediatrician used this same one in office for all patients, babies and up. So yes, it is appropriate for babies.

No, this thermometer is in Celsius. -20C to 110C (you can easily convert from Fahrenheit using google).

Also....if you had the thermometer outside, you need to wait (I think 30 mins) before using it inside. When my thermometer arrived, I tried to test it as soon as I brought the package in and it was giving me a "low message" and inconsistent readings. It worked out well afterwards but everytime I bring the diaper bag from outside, I wait a few minutes before using the thermometer.

As long as they don't put things in their mouth. They do have batteries in them. My youngest will be three next month and is fine, but every kid is different.

Howdy K.O., I have only used this thermometer for meats. It is accurate, and fast. I also bought my nephew one since he liked mine so much. Hope this helps your decision making. C

Ok, baby food & breast milk I can't answwr that. When my chiildren were babies it was the stone age and we had to resort to testing the tempature on our wrist, lol. But I have used it on whole milk and it worked fine. Just follow the direction on caliibrating and you'll be fine. Hope this helps

You place the silver tip portion in the baby's rectum. Just enough to get a reading. It will beep once the temp is detected.

An infant moves his/her finger in the pulse oximeter, the readings will not be accurate. it is better to use an infant pulse oximeter. or use a handheld pulse oximeter with a wrap probe

yes this is mainly used for newborns but infants up to 12 months can use it - I would only recommend using it until the baby gets teeth - after that use a stronger nipple.

Yes and it's great for development... I got it when my babies was 3 months and love this cause she just learned to use her hands... Still enjoys it now

Not suitable for newborns. My grandson started using his at 6 mon. A lot depends on the size of the child.

You just turn it on and wait, like any thermometer, and insert it in the baby's bum. Some people suggest putting Vaseline on the thermometer but I've never needed to do that. My child acts like I'm not even doing anything. I was concerned that a rectal read would be uncomfortable for a baby but apparently not. Also, fun fact, if your child is constipated, you can take a rectal temp using Vaseline and gently wiggle it (the baby still acts like nothing is happening) and sometimes that will produce a bowel movement.

I use it on peds from 4 and up and get a good reading. I would assume it wouldn't work well on an infant due to their little fingers.

I do not think so. It is a little higher for the newborn to six month baby. I just buy this for my seven month baby.

yes, it will work well for new born baby. But I think it suitable for room temperature around 23 degree

If you hold it to the baby's temple, I don't see why not. It takes a reading in seconds. Just don't leave it with the baby unattended. You might check with your doctor or the seller to make sure this is suitable for babies.
