Temporal thermometers are something I have been using in my job as a pediatric nurse for a long time. They give fast, accurate results and are so much less invasive than rectal, oral or tympanic thermometers.
I recently contacted Mother’s Touch to do a review. I personally love the way these work. Instead of being sort of sterile..and gliding something over my babies forehead at work, I can hold them and gently touch their head with this thermometer. It gives me an accurate readout, while making my kids at work feel loved and secure. I do have one negative to mention though..to me this takes a little longer to get a reading than the other two temporal thermometers I have. When dealing with some of the special needs children at my work, speed it important. Other than that, I have no complaints and love the Mother’s Touch Thermometer! Overall I give this thermometer a 4 out of 5 stars!

I received the items listed above for my consideration while writing this review. I received no other compensation.
it would be incredibly useful, i have a squirmy almost 1 year old and the only way to calm her down when sick is to hold her constantly-i feel this thermometer would really help with that.

I just lost my regular digital thermometer and was thinking about replacing it with a temporal one. It would be even better if I could win one for free!

I think this would be great for me because my 1 year old squirms around too much for me to get a clear reading on our temporal thermometer until I've run it over his head several times...no fun with an uncooperative baby!

My daughter hates getting her temp taken. Plus I'm having a second child soon so this would come in handy for both.

Our 14 month old doesn't care for other methods of temperature taking so I'd love to try Mother's Touch.

My daughter HATES having her temperature taken. Lately I've been not taking it, and just finding ways to lower it when she obviously has a high fever. I would love to be able to get an accurate reading so I can better gauge the treatment that we give her.

I think it would be useful bc it only takes 6-8 seconds and we all know how hard it can be to take a toddler's temp with one that takes a long time.

My 3yr old sooooooo hates having her temperature taken. Even when she doesn't feel well it's a battle. This would really simplify both of our lives!

i think this would be useful because it's quicker and easier than pinning a kid down for 60 seconds and forcing them to keep the thermometer under their tongue
