The Easy Way to Track Your Infant’s Temperature

Is there anything more dreaded than taking your infant’s temperature? Oftentimes, doctors recommend using a rectal thermometer according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, while others are ok if an ear thermometer be used. Even if you are using a non-contact, infrared thermometer, you still have to hold your baby still to obtain a reading. All of the scenarios above can be quite tricky (and also unpleasant) if your baby is running a fever and isn’t feeling well. Rest assured that taking your child’s temp doesn’t have to be a stressful or difficult venture.

Tracking Temperature Then VS Now

Long ago, parents would take their child’s temperature and jot it down, every 2-4 hours. While many doctors urge parents to bring their child’s fever down with Motrin or Tylenol, they often want parents to take on the wait and see approach, in order for fever to break or for the situation to resolve itself as long as they didn’t have any additional symptoms, like trouble breathing or a rash. 1

Today, that awful waiting game is over! The thermometer patch is the new, easy, effective, and efficient way to track fever-even before one starts!

The Welltot Temperature Patch is easy to apply. The best part about it is that it isn’t just used solely when your child isn’t feeling well-it’s used when they are actually at their best! Why? When you know what your child’s baseline temperature is when they are going about with their day to day activities and routines, it’s ultra easy to view data that shows a deviation from the norm (which can definitely vary throughout the day)! Tracking when they are healthy makes it easy to see when they aren’t!

How Does A Thermometer Patch Work?

Apply the patch to your baby's chest or under the arm with either the chest strap or adheasive patch. The patch will begin working right away and will pass on data collected to the app on your phone.

When you notice a spike in the norms, bet your bottom dollar that a fever is brewing! Time to call the doctor to help your baby get relief before things get worse. A thermometer for the future, a patch makes it easy for parents and doctors to track a temperature and make more reasoned and informed decisions for your baby’s unique situation!
