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!

Your child is human too

“So often, children are punished for being human. They are not allowed to have grumpy moods, bad days, disrespectful tones, or bad attitudes. Yet, we adults have them all the time. None of us are perfect. We must stop holding our children to a higher standard of perfection than we can attain ourselves.” https://www.mother.ly/child/your-child-is-human-too

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
