readings. Temperatures taken from the skin’s surface may
be 2- 3°F (1-1.5°C) lower than oral readings. For exam-
ple, if the Fever Monitor registers a skin temperature of
97°F (36.1°C), your child’s oral temperature may actually
be 99–100°F (37.2–37.8°C). This differential should be
considered when monitoring your baby’s temperature. We
suggest you take your baby’s temperature using either the
BébéSounds
®
Ear Thermometer or the BébéSounds
®
5-Second 3-Way Thermometer to determine the difference
between the reading from the skin and the reading using
another method.
