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.

A few days ago, I did not know how to take Andrei( my nephew ) outside. He was crawling all over the place, but I was worried he’d scratch his knees on our drive way or get his knees dirty on our lawn. The Snazzy Baby Knee Pads would have alleviated my concerns. They have slip proof traction beads that guard against skidding, work on surfaces indoors and out, are adjustable with Velcro straps, and are machine washable. They allow full movement and can guard against wear and tear on pants too. They also fit up to four years, so you can use them as makeshift knee pads later on as well.

With the KickTrack Kick Counter, you at least now have something that keeps track for you. Every time you feel a kick, you enter it in, and the device will keep a record for you of how many and when they occurred. You can store 10 kick sessions at a time. It will also track your contractions as labor begins. We think it’s a great idea and a good gift for a friend early on in her pregnancy.

Recommended by The American Pregnancy Association, it’s especially valuable in the last trimester, when a significant increase or decrease in your baby’s normal activity can be a warning sign. I predict it will soon become one of those “must-have” baby gadgets and a popular gift at baby showers.
