[blparent] Talking Thermometers

[Veronica Smith]

I've used mine dozens of times, when your children start school, someone
will ask you for the exact temperature and sometimes your DR will ask, your
child's temperature.  Gab's normal is around 97.6, where mine is 98.6, it's
a good thing to know.

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
