Editorial Review

The pacifier thermometer... a brilliant idea that was no doubt invented by a parent. This nifty item is deemed "the tender way to take your child's temperature." Indeed. Made with an orthodontic nipple and impact-resistant plastic, this pacifier-style thermometer indicates, after 90 seconds, if your child's temp is 99.9 degrees F or above with a sweet rendition of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and then monitors baby's temperature every five minutes for up to 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, it automatically shuts off. A small LCD displays the reading for accuracy and a plastic storage cap keeps it clean and protected between uses. This set also includes a standard pacifier, as well. Detailed instructions in both English and Spanish and a one-year limited warranty are included. --Melissa Wilson

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Concept, but still needs some Improvement, April 9, 2002

When I saw this listed in the baby products, I thought "What a great way to take my baby's temperature." Naturally, though, I wanted to try out the product on myself first before the time came that I would need to use it on my baby. I sucked and sucked and sucked on the digital pacifier (it says sucking must be for atleast 90 seconds), and finally after 4 minutes, the pacifier registered my temperature. Then, I used traditional oral thermometer to compare the results. The digital pacifier registered my temperature 2 degrees lower than the traditional thermometer (not a good sign, in my opinion). Needless to say, I probably will be buying another thermometer (perhaps the 3-way thermometer; can take temperature orally, rectally, or under the arm in less than 5 seconds supposedly) for my baby when the times comes. As mentioned in the title, this digital pacifier thermometer is a great concept, but still needs to be worked on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thermometer is WONDERFUL!!, November 28, 2001

I recently had to use the thermometer when my little one got sick and it was easier than trying to take her temp under her arm. Since she needed soothing anyway, it was easy to keep in her mouth. Also, the pacifier that came with this set is the ONLY pacifier she'll take! I wish they sold that separately so I can have more than one. Every mom of a baby should have this thermometer. You also don't have to worry about adding one degree to the final reading like you do with the underarm thermometers (not that it's hard or anything...). Highly recommend this!!

3.0 out of 5 stars FRUSTRATING!, October 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: TenderTykes Digital Pacifier Thermometer with Free Pacifier, White (Health and Beauty)

While the pacifier thermometer is great in concept, it is quite bulky and larger than a regular pacifier. My daughter could not keep it in her mouth and with the slight fever and her crying, the pacifier did not read accurately. I have to use my regular thermometer. I probably wouldn't recommend it.
