I thought I'd try something new and innovative, so I purchased a 'pacifier thermometer' - the only problem with that? My girls wouldn't suck on it long enough to get a reading.
So, I tried the traditional style with a digital readout. The only problem with that? No sick kid is going to have you hold a thermometer easily for the "Quick 10 second reading" - Can you hold a squirming, screaming child for ten seconds with one hand and a thermometer in the other? If you can, good for you. If you can, my other question is - can you actually hear the "beep beep" when it's done over the top of the crying? I couldn't do either.
So, I decided to take the monetary plunge and purchase a "1 Second Digital Ear Thermometer" - what a blessing this is.You can buy one of these lifesavers anywhere for around $25 and they are well worth it.
Woo hoo we have this one too! I've only had to use it on myself so far though :)
