This unique no-touch baby thermometer uses patented breakthrough technology to make taking temperature easy, stress-free and incredibly accurate. In Touch mode, place the thermometer on the forehead between the eyebrows to take a measurement. In No touch mode, hold the thermometer in front of your child's forehead between the eyebrows up to 5cm away, therefore reducing stress for your child. The temperature can then be taken without risk of waking them. The no-sound mode can also be used so that your child's temperature can be taken almost silently with the Braun Healthcare No Touch + forehead thermometer.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

Usually when we need to take the child’s temperature they are irritable & ill, making it difficult to get the child to sit still for any length of time, this is an amazing precise handy piece of kit, which makes monitoring a child’s temperature easier than before as you can do no touch and forehead thermometer. It is a handy size that tucks nicely away in the changing bag. As this device is no touch, it negates the requirement for separate disposable covers, although it can be used as a touch thermometer, which would require the item to be cleaned. Confidence is also given in the well-known branding. Sound can be switched on & off at ease, which enables temperature to be taken without disturbing a sleeping baby, the LED backlight means that the display can be read with ease in any light within a few seconds.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

Using the ergonomic designed Braun Healthcare No Touch + forehead thermometer makes taking a child’s temperature quick & easy.  The colour adjusting backlight, makes it simple to recognise if your child is seriously ill as it glows Red, Amber & Green depending on the temperature range.  No touch technology means you no longer have to disturb your child when they are sleeping or have them sit still quite so long as they did when using a conventional thermometer, a few seconds and the beep alerts you that it’s done with the memory allowing constant monitoring.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

It is slightly expensive, but if you look out there are deals to be had, I can’t think of anything else I would change, in my view it really has it all.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?

I loved the Braun Healthcare No Touch + forehead thermometer, it's great for infection control due to the no-touch and I could easily keep an eye on my sleeping child's temperature without disturbing him. It is quick and easy to use giving you a reading within 2 seconds, not only was the thermometer easy to read the reading was clearly shown with a colour coded colour to give double reassurance that my baby was OK or not.

How does this product make your life easier as a mum?

With its non-touch, non-disturbing, quick reading and colour coded display I was able to make sure my little one was well 24 hours a day with this forehead thermometer.

If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?

I would like a box or bag to keep this thermometer in to ensure it keeps clean and safe.

It's so easy to use even with a poorly, wriggly toddler. It's no-touch design makes looking after a poorly baby or child a little bit easier. A much welcomed product!
