Baby thermometer set?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

When it comes to a baby thermometer set, the general pediatric advice is this: the type of thermometer matters much more than the brand. For babies under 3 months, the most reliable measurement is a rectal temperature taken with a digital thermometer. For babies over 3 months, an underarm digital thermometer is sufficient. Forehead (infrared) thermometers are convenient but not as reliable as rectal or underarm methods, especially for fever monitoring — they just give you a quick idea. The set needs to include at least a digital thermometer suitable for rectal and underarm use. Extra features (Bluetooth, colored screens) are nice-to-haves, not necessities.
