Hi I got this thermometer as a baby shower gift and I love it. I have used it more than I thought I would. Teething can run your baby a fever sometimes. It is nice to have his temp right away so easily and than you know how to treat them. Mine has been accurate with the temperature also. I know this because when my son got very sick a few months ago for a temperature that dropped so, we went to the hospital . I thought our thermometer was broken and it was not. It was dead on with the hospitals thermometer. So yes I would recommend this thermometer. Good Luck. First time mom, who loves being a mommy too!~
