Here are some tips on how to measure the baby's body temperature properly.
- If you have a rectal thermometer / thermometer that is used in the anus, put a mark that is not used anymore for the mouth / oral.
- Remember always to wash or clean the thermometer using alcohol or warm water, especially at the end of the metal. Wash before use and thereafter.
- If you want to measure the temperature by mouth, ensure that measurements were taken 20 minutes after the baby is drinking something warm / cold.
- Do not measure the baby's body temperature immediately after a bath.
- Do not let your child play around with the thermometer.
