Measuring the temperature of a fidget is not an easy task. Often, parents are forced to arrange a whole show for the baby in order to make him sit quietly for at least five minutes. But there are times when a little fussy categorically refuses to measure the temperature, throwing a tantrum. You can try to outwit him by replacing the usual pacifier with a thermometer nipple.
Instructions
Step 1
The pacifier can truly be considered an ingenious invention that comes to the rescue of mothers in a variety of situations. Many begin to accustom the baby to a dummy from birth, thus helping him to calm down or fall asleep faster. In addition, it is indispensable during the period when children are teething, and they pull into their mouths all objects that come under their arm. The same can be said for the dummy thermometer.
Step 2
This device is able to quickly and accurately measure the temperature of a child, however, only if he is used to using it. The device consists of the dummy itself and a temperature-sensitive sensor built into it, i.e. This is a digital thermometer built into the pacifier, which can be silicone or latex. The device displays the obtained data on the display and gives a musical signal after completion of measurements, like a digital electronic thermometer.
Step 3
Despite the fact that this device can still be considered an innovation in the field of digital technologies, many young parents have managed to appreciate its convenience and practicality. Many well-known brands offering a variety of products for newborns have expanded their assortment with a pacifier-thermometer.
Step 4
To measure the baby's temperature with this device, you need to let the baby suck it for three to five minutes. The measurement result, accompanied by a sound notification, will appear on the display located on the mouthpiece. The accuracy of the dummy thermometer readings is 0.1 degrees.
Step 5
Like all digital thermometers, this device is quite whimsical. The accuracy of the results obtained depends on several factors. For example, it is undesirable to use a pacifier-thermometer if the baby has a stuffy nose and has to breathe through his mouth. In this case, the indicators are often incorrect, most often underestimated. At the time of measurement, the child should be in a calm state, crying or playing with the nipple will also affect the reliability of the result.
Step 6
A significant disadvantage of such thermometers is that in some models the dummy and the thermal sensor have the form of an indivisible structure that cannot be disassembled in order to sterilize the nipple. In this case, it is well washed with warm water and soap, and then rinsed. It is advisable to purchase collapsible nipple thermometers, which are easy enough to disassemble in case it is necessary to boil or sterilize it.
Step 7
The device operates on batteries, when they run out, the thermometer becomes unusable, although they usually last for two to three years.
