How to Always Know Your Newborn’s Temperature

If someone told you that you didn't have to to take your newborn’s temperature via ear, forehead, armpit, or rectum, would you believe them? Thanks to modern technology, it’s true! If you are tired of poking, prodding, and pleading with your baby to cooperate (especially when they are in pain or burning up), you’ll be happy to know a hands-free, stress free alternative is available. Read on to learn how you can always know your newborn’s temperature without doing virtually anything at all!

Step One

Apply a thermometer patch. Safe, gentle, easy to apply, and waterproof, there are many options on the market. A parent favorite, Welltot, allows for all information collected on your newborn to go straight into an app, which you can access from a phone, anytime, anyplace! Forget stressing about your baby’s temperature when you’re at work-the guesswork is gone! No more relying on childcare facilities, sitters, or family members having to be burdened with taking your tiny one’s temp. The patch starts working as soon as it’s placed on your child.

Step Two

Give the patch about five days to work its magic. It will tell you your infant’s skin temperature throughout the day.  These “normal” stats will help you understand a baseline when they are healthy, so that when the numbers start to elevate, you can get help immediately! No more surprise phone calls at work, making you leave on the fly, or emergency stops during your night-you can easily see when an infection is on the horizon or be able to tell if a virus may wreak havoc on your household. In the day and age of Covid and all of its variants, who wouldn’t want this for their family?

Step Three

Don’t lose sleep again because you're worried about your  baby’s high temperature! When your little one starts to fuss, teeth, or just seem "off," use the Welltot monitor to see if they are running a bit hot.

In conclusion, knowing your baby’s normal numbers are essential. This preventative patch will help everyone in your family stay healthy, happy, and will allow for early intervention always!
