Infrared Thermometer
It uses infrared technology to detect the temperature of the your baby’s forehead. For newborn or infants younger than 3 months, electronic digital thermometers have been acclaimed as the most accurate. It is however very inconvenient to use with small one therefore we prefer Infrared Thermometer over any other type.
It is believed that Radiations are often harmful to human beings as they can cause irritation and a burning sensation in the skin. Infrared radiation is a part of the electromagnetic wave spectrum technology used in Infrared Thermometer. However, the best infrared thermometer contains almost no radiation and therefore safe to use. It only absorbs the IR and measures it but doesn’t consist of the component in itself. No to misunderstand with Laser IR Thermometers, they are different, and they can be risky.
