Rectal Thermometers
 
Who knew that if you insert one of these into your baby, they are likely to take a sh.it on you? I sure didn't.

Matches work on dogs.

randallscott35 06-22-2011 05:13 PM
I believe sticking a match in my kid's butt would be abuse....but I learn something new everyday on here.

I'm not sure that the sulfur in the matches is what does it. I heard it was a reflex, but then...............oh never mind.

Digital non contact thermometers are kinder in all respects, but not sure about the accuracy.

You know that you can take his tempature under his armpit too, right?

Not as accurate. This young you are supposed to go strictly for the ass.

Back to parenting class for you Kev.


A popular option you'll see in stores and online is digital ear (tympanic) thermometers, which measure body temperature inside the ear. "They aren't recommended for young children because there are lots of chances for error," says Paul Horowitz, M.D., medical director of Pediatric Clinics Legacy Health System in Portland, Ore. We've found that you have to align them in the ear canal perfectly to be accurate. Temps taken orally, with a pacifier thermometer, may seem to be another way to go. But oral thermometers tend to be as much as 1º F lower than rectal thermometers and aren't considered as accurate for children under age 3.

No. My system is quite fast. I understand the enema's action. My point is these thermometers are small and don't go in that far, so you wouldn't think you'd get a mudslide from using it...But again, my goal here is to inform and keep the potential parents, all 3 of them on here, on the straight and narrow.

Your function as a parent is not complete without the following trifecta: rectal thermometer, emema, glycerine suppositories.:)
