This is off-topic, but I feel your pain and have a (un-paid, and unaffiliated) recommendation. My wife and I went through about 10 thermometers of all types and price points the first year our first child was born. They were all of dubious accuracy, and worse: inconsistent.<p>Then, at the pediatrician&#x27;s office we noticed them using an inner-ear thermometer. I asked the nurse to see it. It was a Braun Thermoscan. They aren&#x27;t cheap at ~$70, but we bought one 5 years ago and that was that. It&#x27;s fast, accurate and consistent. It paid for itself long ago and still works like it was new.<p>And one more time, because of the context of this comment: I have no affiliation with Braun.
