Thermometer Recommendation OR What thermometer to buy?!

Hi mummies and first-time mummies!
Would like to share with all fellow mums (and dads) this great love which I had stumbled across! 

I am a mum of two young kiddies both currently below the age of 4. Elder girl A is 3.5y and Didi B is 1y. 

Back when A was a baby in 2013/2014, the in-ear thermometer was (and still is) very popular so as a first time mom, not knowing anything, followed the crowd and bought that for her. 

It's ok to use and served me well. However, when B came along two years or so later, it died on me forcing me to search again for a new thermometer to use for the kids. 

As they are young, they fall sick with fever coughs and cold often, so having a good thermometer on hand is so very important!

And I found the SMARTTEMP! Someone had shared a video on Facebook and it intrigued me, so I got one to try love it for the ease and convenience it brings me as a busy mum!

The Smarttemp is a Bluetooth Thermometer which allows real-time temperature monitoring via an App on your mobile phone. HOW COOL IS THAT?! 
It can also alarm to alert you when fever spikes.. OH MY! Such a useful feature for me as a full time working mum because sleep is so so so important for me to function well the next day. Having an alarm to alert feature, seriously saves me a lot of trouble having to wake every few hours through the night to check their temperature! 

I love how small, thin and compact the Smarttemp is. The device is waterproof and 100% baby safe with no fear of B accidentally swallowing the tiny battery hence it can go into the bath or measure your bath water temperature. 

I simply have to stick it on under the armpit and reach for my phone which is always close by whenever I want to check on the kids temperature. No need for running after them with the use of traditional methods.
I also love the app's temperature recording and graph feature, which helps a lot when mummy's brain can't work well on little sleep 

Here's a picture of the Smarttemp and B when he had the fever for 5 days with a bad flu and cough

Being a full-time working mom with two kids below the age of 4, no maid to help with the household chores, anything that helps make my life easier as a busy mom, I LOVE IT! 

Thank you Smarttemp! You're a lifesaver!

Smarttemp Review

The life of a mum: kids, fever and cough  oh well, that's life isn't it? There are days of ups and downs   Let's just enjoy the ride  So the daughter has got another bout of coughs, this time like every other time, we don't know how and where she caught it from.. Last evening she was a little cranky pants, checked that she had a slight fever at 37.6 degrees (10pm before bedtime). I didn't want to administer fever medication straight away, so we stuck on the Smarttemp and turned on the App on my phone to set the alarm to ring if her temp went above 38.5. We all went to sleep, and as you can see, her fever did not go up, alarm did not ring and we all managed to get a good night's sleep and awoke fresh for a new day! If not for the Smarttemp, I would have had to set my alarm clock to ring every few hours through the night to wake up and take her temperature! Thank you Smarttemp! You are indeed a "sleep-saver"!

Bacterial vs Viral Infections

Bacterial and viral infections have many things in common. Both types of infections are caused by microbes -- bacteria and viruses, respectively   The Differences Between Bacteria and Viruses Although bacteria and viruses are both too small to be seen without a microscope, they're as different as giraffes and goldfish. Most bacteria are harmless, and some actually help by digesting food, destroying disease-causing microbes, fighting cancer cells, and providing essential nutrients. Fewer than 1% of bacteria cause diseases in people. Viruses are tinier: the largest of them are smaller than the smallest bacteria. All they have is a protein coat and a core of genetic material, either RNA or DNA. Unlike bacteria, viruses can't survive without a host. They can only reproduce by attaching themselves to cells. In most cases, they reprogram the cells to make new viruses until the cells burst and die. In other cases, they turn normal cells into malignant or cancerous cells. Also unlike ...

Fever Temperatures: Accuracy and Comparison

You can take a temperature using the mouth (oral), anus (rectal), armpit (axillary), or ear (tympanic). But the temperature readings vary depending on which one you use, and you need an accurate body temperature to determine if a fever is present. Medical research hasn't determined an exact correlation between oral, rectal, ear, armpit, and forehead temperature measurements. When you talk with your doctor about your temperature, be  sure to say what method was used to take the temperature. Generally, the correlation of temperature results are as follows: The average normal oral temperature is 37°C. A rectal temperature is 0.3°C to 0.6°C higher than an oral temperature. An ear (tympanic) temperature is 0.3°C to 0.6°C higher than an oral temperature. An armpit (axillary) temperature is usually 0.3°C to 0.6°C lower than an oral temperature. A forehead (temporal) scanner is usually 0.3°C to 0.6°C lower than an oral temperature. Source:  www.webmd.com
