[blparent] Talking Thermometers

[Peggy]

I agree here with the fact that you will know when you're kid has a fever, 
they also have that fever smell about them, okay am I nuts.  But I love my 
talking thermometer b/c the doc might ask you what their temp is when you 
call, b/c then you know how high their temp is and can decide whether to try 
tylenol for a while or rush to the emergency room.  I'm pretty sure mine 
came from Speak to Me.  I've actually used mine ... not a lot ... but 
definitely when my kids had a temp.  FYI: I didn't like the forehead ones, 
didn't thenk they were very acurate, same with the ear ones.

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
