How do you mommies take temp? I'm getting a 99.3 reading underarm and w/ adding a degree makes 100.3 but I always heard rectal is most accurate but I'm scared to do it to her!
I had one from cvs that is specifically a rectal thermometer, it can't go in too far. Now it's easier to use the forehead one, though. For a while we did both to see how accurate it was, and the forehead and rectal were usually about the same.
@babyking1 I use the regular thermometer that the NICU sent home with each of my babies. They told me to just put the metal looking part in not any further. I didn't ask why or anythinf.
I take their temp rectally. I put them on their tummy in my lap and rock them on my rocking chair patting their back so they aren't too uncomfortable and move cause I'm scared of hurting them lol
