Editorial Review

As every new parent will quickly discover when baby has her first cold, a fast-reading and accurate thermometer is an essential addition to your baby-care supplies. By building one into a sturdy pacifier with an orthodontic nipple, this pacifier-style thermometer makes it even easier to take baby's temperature in a natural and noninvasive way. Featuring nontoxic materials and durable one-piece construction that is waterproof and impact-resistant, the pacifier thermometer has a fast, 90-second readout, a memory recall function that will display the last temperature taken so you can track temperature changes, and an automatic shutoff that turns the digital thermometer off after 25 minutes. In lieu of a loud beeping sound, the pacifier will play a gentle melody whenever baby's temperature exceeds 99.9 degrees F. Includes detailed instructions in English and Spanish, a limited one-year warranty, and a storage cover to protect the nipple from damage. --Chris Burns

good idea, but... - , Jul 28, 2003

This is a good idea in theory, however, it just didn't work for us. Our son took a pacifier with no problems, but he knew this was different and just didn't want to hang on to it. Even though taking a rectal temp is no joy in itself, it's the best way to get an acurate reading. It's all our doctor's office would really take.

Good concept, but... - , Mar 07, 2003

I loved this pacifier thermometer! I say "loved" because it no longer works (very disappointing). My two-month-old son spit it out one time and before I could catch it it had fallen onto our hardwood floors. Now it doesn't work! Just one time of being spit out and it's broken?! I think if they're going to improve on this product, they should improve on its durability. Otherwise, I really do believe it is a great product!

I thought his was a great idea when I saw it so I bought it. My daughter wouldnt take it because of the shape and its not something you can sterilize with out ruining it!

Works well but... - , Jan 19, 2003

When my son was newborn, this thermometer worked great. He would suck on it for the required time and the reading would be almost identical both auxillarily and rectally. The biggest problem I had was keeping my son interested in sucking on the pacifier long enough to get a reading as he got older. He cut himself off from the pacifier at about 4 months old and this method was no longer useful for us. If your child still uses a pacifier, this is probably a great choice for you.

A GOOD OL' FASHION THERMOMETER IS THE BEST - T's mom, Nov 27, 2002

I tried using this with my daughter and she frowns and spits it out before I can get her temp. She is very picky; I think most babies are picky about what types of pacifiers they take...mine only takes NUK. She gets this thing in her mouth and it's not shaped like her regular binky so she won't keep it in her mouth. The bulb seems to be too long. She gagged on it. I only tried it once and decided to you a digital thermometer which is a better way to go.
