TEMPERATURE READINGS

This pacifier is for oral use only. Oral temperature readings are often approximately 1°F lower than actual body temperature readings (Rectal Readings) and 1°F higher than axillary (under the arm) readings.

Temperature readings vary from child to child. Although there is no singular ‘normal’ temperature reading, a temperature taken orally ranging between 97°F and 100°F is considered normal. Your child’s physician should be consulted to determine what temperature range the physician considers to be normal.

The best method to determine your child’s normal temperature is to use the thermometer when the child is feeling well. Record readings twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures to calculate a normal body temperature.
