6. Thermometer
Now that my daughter is nearly 2, I’m so relieved I can avoid the rectal thermometer stage! In our house, we use a temporal artery thermometer to get a gauge on possible fevers, and then use an underarm thermometer to get a more accurate read. Many people have raved about the accurate of temporal thermometers but I always feel they are a little off. Whatever kind you use, make sure you have at least 1 working thermometer in your cabinet.
