Ear Thermometers
Used in hospitals and by GP's worldwide, ear thermometers are considered the most reliable way to measure a baby's temperature. The temperature is measured straight from the ear drum which is regarded as the location which best represents the baby's core temperature. They are also fast, most giving results in less than a second.
Their only downsides are that they require some skill to use (at first results will probably be inaccurate as you learn how to position and align the sensor) and that they are relatively expensive when compared to the more traditional oral thermometers.
