Speed of results - The easiest baby thermometers to use are those that require your baby to keep still for the shortest time possible - so you should look for thermometers that can provide an accurate reading in seconds. The good news is, the majority can these days, although some require more interpreting than others. Be aware that placing the nightlight/thermometer or the monitor near a window or radiator can skew the readings so it’s always best to put it as close to the baby’s cot as possible to get the most accurate reading.
