Measuring the temperature of a small fidget is not a simple task. Sometimes young parents have to arrange a real show for their child, in order to keep him in place for at least five minutes. But what to do if the little one flatly refuses to measure the temperature and arranges a hysterics at one, just a kind of thermometer?
You can try to outwit the "wreck", offering him instead of the usual and beloved dummy pacifier-thermometer.
What is a dummy thermometer?
The nipple is a brilliant invention that comes to the aid of moms in a variety of situations. Many begin to accustom the baby to a pacifier from birth, to calm the crumb and help him fall asleep. A dummy is almost not replaceable when the children have teeth chopped, and they take everything they get into their mouths. What can we say about the thermometer nipple?
This device allows you to accurately and quickly measure the temperature of a small child, but only if this "accessory" is used to the baby.
The device consists of a dummy itself, in which a thermosensitive sensor is built in. In order to measure the temperature with a teat-thermometer, it is necessary to give the child a sucking dummy for 3-5 minutes. The result of the measurements is displayed on the display located on the mouthpiece after the sound signal.
Despite the fact that the dummy-thermometer is considered a kind of innovation in the field of digital technologies, many young mothers had time to appreciate the convenient and practical adaptation. To date, a thermometer can be found in the range of baby products of such famous brands as Avent, Maman, Vavu-Frank, Microlife, Mothercare and many others.
Features of use
Like any other, the digital thermometer of the pacifier-thermometer is rather whimsical. And for obtaining accurate results requires the fulfillment of certain conditions:
- it is better not to use a thermometer-nipple, if the child has a spout and he has to breathe with the mouth - in this case, the indicators may not be quite true (underestimated);
- when measuring, the baby should not cry and play with a pacifier.
In addition, in some models, the nipple and thermal sensor are represented by an indivisible structure, which can not be disassembled to sterilize a pacifier. Alternatively, it can be washed with warm water and soap, then rinse thoroughly. But, nevertheless, it is best to choose demountable nipples-thermometers, which are easily disassembled in case it needs to be sterilized or boiled. The device comes into disrepair when the batteries are sitting down. As a rule, they last for two or three years.
