I did these two and the pacifier thermometer. I'm sure I won't need 3, but I don't trust myself with the temporal scan until I've used it for awhile and know I'm doing it right. Then I couldn't decide between the other two, so I went with both. The vicks rectal one has great reviews! The pacifier one depends on the kids.

Re: Thermometers?
Sorry to crash but that Vicks rectal thermometer posted above is the BEST THING EVER!! Especially for a new mom who is scared of going in "too deep" to take a temp. This should be on everyones registry because you can only go by rectal temps when they are infants

Re: Thermometers?
I use this one from Safety First on DC:
It's great because it has a little ring so you don't insert it too far in for a rectal reading and it also gives a quick reading (5 seconds) which is sooo helpful when you have a squirmy baby!!! It can also be used in the mouth or under the arm.

Uh-oh... looks good, but this is the one review on it that I found on Amazon:

I bought this thermometer because the first one died on me and I couldn't find the battery replacement anywhere. Of course this one used the same battery (which doesn't state so on the package, otherwise I wouldn't have got it... You have to actually change the battery to find that out). I liked the shape of the R thermometer to protect from any accidents with a squirming baby impatient with a temperature check. Plus the 8 second read (which seemed a bit longer). BUT THEN... The battery died after a couple of uses. Since the battery was impossible to find in stores (even at FRY's who has a battery isle with hundreds of batteries) I got a 5 pack online, happy that I wouldn't have to deal with this issue again. I figured the original battery was for store use when people test them out. WRONG!!! The brand new battery died after 2 uses. I looked for reviews on BRU (just to make sure it wasn't my new Energizer batteries) and found that everyone else who had this same brand/model (different color) had the same problem. I don't understand why this was even able to be sold to people because for $20.00, it is a complete waste.

Good catch. Looks like I'll have to keep looking. Thanks

Re: Thermometers?
Rectal is the only way to get an accurate temperature from a baby, so that's the only kind we've ever used. We got the Safety 1st Rectal Thermometer when I was pregnant with my son and it's great! Takes a super fast temperature, and has the wide portion to prevent over-insertion. Love it! We've used it for 16 months so far with no issues!
ETA: We keep this one in the diaper bag:

Re: Thermometers?
My dr would only take temperature readings if it was rectal..bec he said it was the most accurate! I def rec getting one of those...there are a bunch on the market that are rubbery and bend-y so it is easier to insert and it will only go in just enough so you cannot insert it too far!
