Temperature is a vitally important indicator of the health of a baby. For babies younger than 3 months, a temperature greater than 100.4 degrees requires immediate medical temperature. From babies ages 4 months to toddlers up to 3 years, the critical temperature is 102.2.

It’s not easy to get an accurate temperature reading with traditional thermometers, especially with the rectal thermometers that many doctors recommend. The solution is a digital thermometer that an use orally, rectally or under the arm.

The Summer Infant Three-In-One Family Thermometer allows you to take a baby’s temperature all three ways, providing a separate wand for each. The temperature is displayed on an easy-to-read LCD screen. For more information, visit the Summer Infant website.
