[blparent] Talking Thermometers

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I got mine from Beyond Sight.  Just Google that and the store will come up. 
But you know, I really think the talking thermometer is overrated.  It's 
good to have around, I guess, especially because everybody will ask you how 
you will know if your child has a fever.  But my daughter is four and a 
half, and I've never used the silly thing.  I know when my daughter has a 
fever because--well, because she's warm to the touch.  And usually droopy 
and whiny and clingy as well.  I've never found it necessary to know the 
exact temperature she was at in degrees.  I'd probably still buy the talking 
thermometer just to have it around in case, but trust me, you'll know.  And 
if she has a fever high enough that it's an emergency, you'll probably 
already be on your way to the pediatrician or the hospital because of other 
symptoms.

I know this topic has been covered before, but I figured I'd ask again.

I'm slowly stocking up on items I'm going to absolutely need when my baby is 
born. Can any of you give me any suggestions as to talking thermometers you 
find easy and accurate? Any links you can provide would be amazing, though 
not essential.

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

Samara
