Digital Forehead Thermometers

If your baby or child does not like to be poked in the ear or mouth then a digital forehead thermometer is the ideal solution. These use infrared light to take a reading straight from your baby's forehead or temple so no direct contact is necessary - it can even be used while your baby sleeps.

All forehead thermometers have a digital display and are generally quite accurate although some will say that perspiration can be an issue giving a less precise reading. They are however very easy to use and you get a reading in seconds.
