Baby’s health is the top concern for all parents, as they want to ensure their little one feels well and happy at all times. Sadly, illnesses are inevitable – especially when baby is young and vulnerable to bacteria and germs. Unfortunately, babies don’t have the ability to communicate with words, so are unable to tell mum and dad what is wrong. Therefore, parents need to rely on other tools to find symptoms in order to get medical help. Body thermometers are a great item to have ready and waiting in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom – especially as they can be used by everyone in the family if they’re feeling poorly. Leading baby product wholesaler, Baby Brands Direct, have a great selection of digital body thermometers, from top brands Braun, Tommee Tippee and Vital Baby. 

Digital thermometers offer a higher degree of accuracy than other domestic thermometers, such as those that include mercury, thanks to top of the range technology being used. The readings are given almost instantaneously and thanks to the clear and concise display on each thermometer, there’s no chance of misreading the temperature given. Our range of thermometers feature a variety of different functionalities and designs, at a range of price points to suit the consumers’ needs. 

At the lower end of the price range, Braun’s Braun Age Precision Digital Stick and Tommee Tippee’s 2 in 1 Thermometer are two stick type thermometers that can be used to take readings in baby’s mouth or under the armpit. The Braun Digital Stick features unique Age Precision technology, allowing parents to interpret their child’s temperature while taking into account their age. Parents can simply select their child’s age and the colour coded display will help them understand the temperature reading based on how old they are.  Tommee Tippee’s 2 in 1 Thermometer provides a fast eight-second accurate reading. If baby’s temperature is too high, the fever indication system on the 2 in 1 Thermometer will sound. This thermometer also stores the last reading, allowing parents to monitor baby’s temperature over a period of time. 

Also available are in-ear thermometers. These are a little less invasive than the digital stick models and can just be placed gently inside baby’s ear for a quick and accurate reading. Braun offers two in-ear models – Thermoscan 3 and Thermoscan 6. These models continuously monitor the infrared heat emitted by the eardrum in order to give a reading. The Thermoscan 6 also features a patented pre-warmed tip, for maximum comfort, and is recommended by doctors thanks to its accurate measurements and easy to read screen. Tommee Tippee also offer an in-ear model, the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Digital Ear Thermometer. This model features a small tip designed for use in baby’s ear – but it can also be used by the whole family. Featuring a large LCD display, this model is easy to use and to read. Parents can even switch the temperature displayed to show either Fahrenheit or Celsius, depending on their preference.

For those who want a non-intrusive option that won’t disturb a sleeping baby, Braun, Tommee Tippee and Vital Baby all offer their own no touch thermometer models. These thermometers can be used without touching the forehead and feature quick response times, therefore reducing stress for the child. Braun’s No Touch & Forehead Thermometer can be used as a forehead thermometer if parents prefer, giving it a dual purpose that can be handy in different circumstances. The Vital Baby PROTECT 4 in 1 Contactless Thermometer is the most versatile offering within the range. This 4 in 1 infra-red contactless thermometer detects temperature in just 2 seconds and gives the result on its colour changing display. The thermometer has four modes – forehead mode, ear mode, room mode and liquid mode – so it can also be used for making sure baby’s room and bathwater isn’t too warm!
