Getting the temperature of your baby can be a pretty tricky thing using traditional methods, while easier ways such as ear thermometers might stretch the budget of households that are already as tight as it is already. For those who fall in the latter category and yet want something accurate, there is the Pacifier Thermometer that works by simply placing it in your child’s mouth, waiting for the pacifier to beep once the reading is complete. The inclusion of a red and green Fever Alert glow feature makes it a snap to know whether it is time to head to the clinic or not. Temperatures can be displayed in either Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on which side of the pond you’re at.

The Summer Infant Pacifier Thermometer will retail for an affordable $9.99 and is accompanied by its own storage case.
