“I’m going to have to do WHAT?!!?!”
The first time I thought my baby boy had a temperature, I called my mom and asked what I should do. You can imagine what she said.
No way. Nuh-uh. Not me. I am not violating my baby’s privacy (never mind that I see a bare bum every time I change a diaper).
So I was a relieved little mama when the Exergen Temporal Scanner came my way. There’s a lot of reasons to love the Exergen Temporal Scanner, and not just because in July 2010, pediatricians voted it #1! It takes about 2-seconds to use (true!) and its non-invasive, which will come as a relief to many parents out there! You can even check a baby in his sleep! No need to involve the rears of the sick little dears!I admit I took my own temperature about twenty times when the Exergen Temporal Scanner first arrived. I found it very amusing. I think I drove my husband into hiding trying to take his temperature a dozen times too. Hey, scientific experiments require repeated testing, right? And baby… well, turns out he did not have a temperature that time. He was a bit harder to scan only because he kept wanting to follow the movement of the thermometer – he thought it was a game! It was pretty funny! I felt a little “Men in Black” waving that wand around taking everyone’s temperature. “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on my blog!”
Then last week the whole family pretty much was sick, and I got to try out the thermometer – for real. I had a temp of 99+ and so did baby – although I was told that is not really high for a baby. Fortunately, nobody spiked over 100, and we are all over our illnesses right now. But it was great to have the professional technology of the Exergen at hand (literally). It made checking our wellness so quick and easy.
Don’t you want one, too? It’s the perfect item for any parent, and would make a great baby shower gift!!
