Pacifiers | | Home » | | | | | | | Description: | | The pacifier thermometer... a brilliant idea that was no doubt invented by a parent. This nifty item is deemed "the tender way to take your child's temperature." Indeed. Made with an orthodontic nipple and impact-resistant plastic, this pacifier-style thermometer indicates, after 90 seconds, if your child's temp is 99.9 degrees F or above with a sweet rendition of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and then monitors baby's temperature every five minutes for up to 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, it automatically shuts off. A small LCD displays the reading for accuracy and a plastic storage cap keeps it clean and protected between uses. This set also includes a standard pacifier, as well. Detailed instructions in both English and Spanish and a one-year limited warranty are included. --Melissa Wilson | | | Features: | |

 Don't wast your money...Jun 05, 2004
This set sounds like a good idea, but it has never worked for me! My son has taken a pacifier since he was a week old, but he hates this one! The surface is too flat and hard, he will never keep it in his mouth. I have never been able to get the display to work properly, it only displays partial numbers. I have always used a rectal reading for him (Safety First 10 Second Safety thermometer is GREAT!!!!).

good idea but ...Feb 14, 2004
the concept is good, but not if your child doesn't take a pacifier. my daughter sucked her thumb so I thought maybe this would work (so I wouldn't have to take it rectally) but she kept spitting it out and sucking her thumb instead. so I just gave up on it. My doctor wouldn't accept this reading anyway so it was a waste of money.(for me anyway.

I registered for this item thinking it would be a great idea. I tried it out on myself, and after five minutes, it was still trying to read my temperature. I immediately returned it to the store!

 DisappointedMay 30, 2003
This Thermometer seemed like a wonderful idea. Unfortunately, it didn't work as well as I had hoped. I tried this a couple of times when my baby was just a newborn. However, even though the package states 0-5 years this did not work for a newborn. She kept gaging on it because the nipple was too big. I didn't use it for quite some time but recently tried it again now that she is a bit bigger. She is used to a different type of pacifier so she wouldn't keep it in her mouth, which doesn't make for an accurate reading. I will give it this though, it does give me an idea of if I have anything to worry about, I tend to over react and think that she has a temperature, this will do a good enough job to let me know if she is fine or if I need to get out the dreaded "traditional" thermometer.

 Not For All BabiesMay 22, 2003
I have a binky thermometer that is a different brand then this one but it works the same. I bought it thinking it was a good way to take my son's temperature, but after trying to use it twice I realize I shouldn't have wasted the money on it. My son is used to latex binkies and the nipple on this thermometer is silicone so he didn't want to keep it in his mouth. It also took about 3 minutes to get a reading, not the 90 seconds the package tells you. You're far better off just getting a [$$$] rectal/oral one at your local pharmacy store.
