Best way to take my baby's temperature?

Rectal

I don't have any lubricant though and I'm not quite sure how to do it..

@izamarpink,

I do it under the armpit bc that's how they did it in the hospital

@killxj0y, that's how I do it but I don't feel like it's accurate because it said 98.0 but he feels so much hotter than that

Yea I do it under the armpit as well.

rectal is the most accurate. but axillary works well too. as long as you know to add a degree

the rectal is the most accurate... but if you think it's bad you could take him in. never hurts just to make sure you know?

under arm you have to as 1 degree. I was told that today at the er and best place to take temperature is rectal.

add***

The only part that goes in is the little half inch of the thermometer that's all you don't need lubricant they don't feel it unless you go in more than you suppose too. I do both but armpit doesn't seem so accurate one because it's always 97-98 and two because my baby moves a lot so it doesn't catch the accurate temp. It's whatever you feel more comfortable doing.

I have a thermometer that is a pacifier and it's a life saver!! Works great!

Where did you get it?? @sharonpaige13
