When choosing a thermometer, selecting the right type matters more than the brand name. The most reliable measurement in babies is done with a digital rectal thermometer — especially for babies under 3 months. After 3 months, digital underarm thermometer is also a practical alternative.
Forehead (temporal) and ear thermometers are fast, but especially in small babies, the margin of error is high; pediatricians generally recommend them for screening purposes only, not as a reference measurement.
When purchasing, look for:
- Quick measurement (10-30 seconds)
- Flexible tip (safer for rectal use)
- Waterproof (easier to clean)
- Memory (stores last reading for convenience)
Instead of a brand name, you can buy a digital thermometer from any pharmacy with the above features and CE and TSE certified. Price range is typically 100-300 TL. Never use mercury thermometers.
