We haven’t been having much luck with thermometers lately. First, I misplaced our forehead thermometer. Then our multi-purpose thermometer stopped working. Tired of never having an accurate thermometer, I bought a number of different models at our local Target. I have always thought that pacifier thermometers seemed a bit gimmicky, but since daughter number three actually takes a binky, I decided it was worth a try. Unfortunately, this product didn’t work for us. Although our little one will willingly put it in her mouth, she won’t keep it in long enough to get a reading. Until they develop a model with a faster reading time (this one takes several minutes, it seems), I wouldn’t recommend it, however simple it seems. If you think it will work for you, however, you can purchase one for $12.39 at Amazon.com.

The Summer Infant Rite Temp Baby Bath Shower gives you clean water to rinse baby off when bathing. Just fill the reservoir with warm water from the faucet (there is a temperature gauge strip at the bottom of the reservoir) and keep it to the side until you’re ready to rinse your child’s hair. Looks like you pump the spray of water, so that gives you more control as to how much water you use.

I would try this product. It’s probably fun to use too. Depending on your child’s age they might be able to have fun rinsing their own hair (watch for soap in the eyes!).

You can buy one for $16.99 at CookiesKids.com.
