Hi, can this be used for measuring temperature for infants?

Absolutely! That is what is so wonderful about it! Just rub across the forehead - so quick and easy.

I've used it to measure the temp of milk when heated up to just below boiling to make yogurt and it was fine.

I've heard of people calibrating it with boiling water, so it may work for what you want. I'd be careful to not get the plug end of the thermocouple or the thermometer wet though.

Jenn the fact that this thermometer uses laser technology, aid in super accurate readings. as for a baby moving, the readings are so quick that if you can point and push the button is all you need. all baby's hold still for almost 2 seconds, and if in doubt, try using another thermometer for comparison, and you will find that this unit is accurate and supper fast. hope that helps you. To get accurate readings you must follow directions and be within the parameters listed in the instructions. Everybody has their opinion, and I love this unit.

If the temperature of the water is within the display range of the thermometer, yes. That range is about 90 to 108 degrees, I think. So if you are looking for a way to assess the temperature of a baby's formula, it might work. But for a broader range, you need a thermometer with a more complete range.

Yes, it may be used on any surface but I wouldn't use it for medical reasons. It's not as accurate as a thermometer used to check for a fever on babies. I wouldn't trust it for that use.

It can only read surface temperatures. For meat you would need a probe type thermometer.

The features of this instrument (thin & long shaft) are to gain temps rapidly for brief periods & removed , like in baking breads . I use it for taking temps of some liquids too but remove it soon. It does all of this very well but it has a thin plastic body with sensitive electronics inside. I would look for a metal framed, analog thermometer.

yes you can, just wait a few seconds for the most accurate reading....i have used it for the liquid portion of bread already and it is very accurate. Just be sure when checking temperature, that the tip does not touch the pot or the container. because that will give you an inaccurate reading.

It can tell if someone is relatively warm compared to someone else (believe me I've experimented), however does not give an accurate temperature for medical purposes. Usually it reads skin temperatures to be around the mid 80s, which doesn't really help when you're trying to figure out if you're feverish. There are skin thermometers that can read forehead temps, but they are tactile. Also I wouldn't want to point the laser towards someone's eyes!

Yes, but since it's an outside temp rather than internal, don't expect it to match normal readings. I've been thinking of using this with, say, sleeping grandchildren who may have a fever. My first step will be to run some trials to establish what this thermometer reads when things are normal. Then I will have the baseline for determining fever. The only issue is that it is a laser beam, so when using it on any person who is awake, be sure the laser doesn't hit them in the eye!

This thermometer works in Fahrenheit and it works great! It is easy to use and does not disrupt any of my little ones to take their temperatures.

I wouldn't recommend it but you can check with your babies doctor, it's very easy to take the temp from babies ear, but check with your infant's doctor or nurse, hope this helps.

Yes it could be used. However you may need to drill holes for the temperature probes.

it's an oral digital thermometer, you can juuust make it out in the picture at the bottom right. It might also work underarms for a newborn

Yes, you can use it to measure liquid temperatures. I use mine to measure fudge temps when I am making fudge, and jam temps also. To determine the accuracy of yours, boil a pan of water. When it is boiling vigorously, place the tip of the probe into the water (not touching the pan) and it should read 212 degrees. Use the difference as a correction factor when measuring your liquids.
