Title: Gave false readings- maybe we got a dud?
Review: We bought this thermometer for the good reviews. Then one night, we had called our pediatrician's office since our baby's temp was registering lower than 96 degrees with this. We checked rectally 3 times and under his arm with this to be sure we were getting an accurate reading- all were below 96 degrees, prompting our Dr to advise us to take the baby to the emergency room immediately. Once there, they checked his temp and it was completely normal at 97.5 degrees. They said our thermometer was probably a dud and to try a new one. Had this worked properly, we could've avoided the incredible stress and frustration we experienced with false readings. Maybe we just got a dud, so if you buy this then please be sure you have another thermometer as back-up to double-check any worrisome readings.
