Product Information

Conveniently, it can also be used as a room thermometer, which saves you buying two separate thermometers. It has a built-in battery which has the life-span of at least a year so it you shouldn’t have to fiddle around changing batteries very often. This little gem relies on liquid crystal to measure the water temperature in the bath, and its compact size (it will fit in the palm of your hand) means that it is easy to store and ideal for taking travelling. How does it work? It’s easy-peasy! Just boil fresh water, measure the formula powder, fill the RapidCool™ with hot water, add your formula powder, and mix well, turning it upside down for at least 5 seconds. Then simply wait for the digital display to show a green Nuby logo and dispense the feed into your sterilised baby bottle. A 120ml feed will be ready to serve in only 2 minutes*.

Designed for 90ml-240ml (3oz-8oz) feed sizes, you have the flexibility to increase feed sizes as your baby grows. The formula feeding kit contains two RapidCool™ flasks, so you’ve always got one ready to go while the other is being cleaned. A. Temperature is not the only sign of illness, if the patient feels unwell; even if the temperature recorded is “normal”; you should seek medical advice. The NHS advises using a digital thermometer, and recommends an under-armpit reading as the simplest method. Once you have a reading, make a note of it. Some models have the ability to store a few readings, which is handy. If you aren’t sure, wait a couple of minutes and take another reading to compare it. When should you take a baby’s temperature? Cheaper than any of our other best baby bath thermometers, the Baby Safe thermometer this is definitely the best budget option out there. It doesn’t have a digital display or flashing lights but is simple to use and gives a fairly accurate reading (although some people have said it is not as accurate as other thermometers).Our baby was in NICU/SCBU and before we were allowed home we had to buy a thermometer and show we knew how to use it. The SCBU staff told us that, for babies, underarm is the most accurate to use at home and recommended this one.” (Advice from Mumsnet user GuidingSpirit) Our verdict All the thermometers we tested work in slightly different ways, but most need to be placed in the water for a few minutes before giving an accurate reading. It will then tell you either through an LCD display or a traditional thermometer reading whether the bath water is the right temperature. It plugs into a USB port, so there is no need for batteries, and then displays the room's temperature clearly on a lit display so you can see it from the door of your baby’s room. It also changes colour as the temperature rises (from blue to yellow and red), so you can see at a glance if the room is too hot or cold. Truly portable, preparing formula feeds on the go has never been easier. If you’re looking for a travel-friendly solution to feed your baby, then look no further - the RapidCool™ kit comes with everything you’ll need to make a bottle, making it perfect for going out-and-about with your little one.

In addition, it doesn’t turn on automatically when placed in the water (it is activated by tapping the display) and the display can take a while to settle on a definite temperature. This isn’t great if you have an impatient baby waiting for their bath!Always follow manufacturer instructions down to the letter. If you haven’t inserted an ear thermometer correctly or held a no-touch model close enough, it won’t be accurate. Some of the higher-end models will have features to stop you taking a temperature unless the machine is being used properly. Type: Water thermometer | Age settings: N/A | Memory: N/A | Celsius and Fahrenheit: Celsius only | Batteries: ‎One CR2 battery required (included) What we like Just put the cheerful giraffe in the bath tub and fill it up – the thermometer will then give you a reading almost immediately. The correct temperature is marked clearly on the thermometer so it is easy to see. It is a cute design and can just float in the bath while your baby has a good splash. The adorable dog, frog or monkey design is small and light enough to pop in your handbag or changing bag for any occasion and will also provide young children with a familiar face they’ll be happy to open their mouths for when they’re feeling a bit warm. However, unlike the Braun Digital Thermometer with Age Precision, there are no age settings or coloured-coded lights to help you to interpret the reading. So you’re only really paying the extra money for aesthetics rather than special functional features. We looked for thermometers that showed accuracy over repeat readings, were simple to use and had additional features that made parents’ lives easier.
