We’ve tried every thermometer under the sun, and all but the probe models start out inaccurate or quickly crap out. Infrared, temporal probe, etc. One of my biggest parenting pet peeves. We now only do the under-the-tongue method, and only if the good ol’ palm-to-the-forehead thermometer says that something is off. I read a study somewhere that indicated that parents are actually pretty accurate when using that method, so I’m sticking with it, replicable or not.
