The BEST Thermometer for Babies/Toddlers

*Disclosure: I only recommend products I would use myself and all opinions expressed here are my own. This post may contain affiliate links, and I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. You can read my full disclaimer here.

We love the Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer, because it’s fast, accurate, and it connects with an app. After reading reviews about other thermometer brands, I found that many parents were not really happy about temperature accuracy. I dug a little deeper and found the Kinsa Quickcare and Smart Ear thermometer. I gravitated towards the smart ear thermometer, because I felt like it would be easier for me to take EJ’s temperature in ear versus using the traditional thermometer, and plus it is doctor recommended.


What makes the Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer so great?
The Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer gives a 1 second in-ear thermometer reading, which is great when you have a fussy, squirming baby.
The Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer connects to the FREE kinsa app via bluetooth, which logs every temperature taken by the thermometer.
The Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer has a large backlit display and the temperature reading can be in degrees fahrenheit or celsius.
With an ergonomic one button design, there is nothing complex about the Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer.
The Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer has a hygienic probe cap that keeps the tip of the thermometer free from exposure.

What retailers carry the Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer?
Since I am a frequent Target shopper, I purchased our Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer at Target via Target drive up. Below is a complete retailer list.

  1. Amazon
  2. Best Buy
  3. Buy Buy Baby
  4. CVS
  5. Meijer
  6. Target
  7. Walmart

Personal Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer Testimony
EJ is going through a teething spell and it has been really tough these last few weeks. With a spike in temperature, increased irritability, and a runny nose, I called his Pediatrician to book an appointment. One of the first questions that the nurse asked was if he currently has a temperature and/or has he had a temperature. I quickly referred to the Kinsa app since all of EJ’s temperatures are recorded there. Temperature checks are a common occurrence in our household, which means there is no way that I would be able to remember EJ’s temperatures. The other great feature about the app is the “Home Care” guidance. Based upon age, temperature, and symptom(s), the app will advise you to either continue with home care, call Dr., call Dr. now, or ER. Having this feature helps guide us in making a sound decision.

The Kinsa App
Below are some of the features of the Kinsa app.

  1. Personalized guidance- as mentioned above, the “home care” guidance feature helps determine your next action (home care, call Dr., call Dr. now, or ER) based upon age, temperature, and symptom(s)
  2. Health log- keep track of healthy history
  3. COVID-19-this is a new feature of the app that gives you symptom and diagnosis support related to COVID-19
  4. Reminders- you can set a reminder for the next temperature check or medication dose

We have been using the Kinsa Smart Ear thermometer since February of 2020 and I honestly would recommend this thermometer to any parent. You can visit www.kinsahealth.co to learn more about Kinsa.

Why I Love The Honey Pot Feminine Care Products

This feminine care line, The Honey Pot, is a game changer. There’s no other feminine care brand like it and the best part about this brand is that it’s made by women, because “it takes one to know one”. I will not mention their competitors—honestly no one can compete with them, but do we really know who is the creator behind these other feminine care brands? I asked myself this question after watching the founder, Beatrice, on Instagram Live talking about her brand and the benefits her products provide. And after watching, other questions began to race through my mind.

Do these other companies have our best interest?

Do these other companies employ females in leadership roles that can advocate and make decisions based upon the needs of a female?

These are questions that need answers, because feminine products are a staple—like you really can’t live without them.


After noticing more and more women talk about The Honey Pot, I could not just keep wondering. I looked into it and immediately went to one of my favorite stores (Target!) to purchase some products. Launched in 2014, this biodegradable, cruelty-free complete feminine care system is giving us females everything that we need for proper vaginal care without the harsh chemicals, toxins, artificial fragrances, and whatever else that’s in regular feminine products that should not be there. Instead, the foundation of the Honey Pot products is herbs, which has been clinically tested and gynecology approved.

Here is a list of all The Honey Pot products:

Cleanse

Normal Foaming Wash, Normal Feminine Wipes, Sensitive Foaming Wash, Sensitive Feminine Wipes, Mommy-To-Be Foaming Wash, Mommy-To-Be Wipes

Menstrual

Menstrual Cup, Organic Regular Tampons, Organic Super Tampons, Organic Duo-Pack Tampons, Everyday Herbal Pantiliners, Overnight Herbal Pads With Wings, Regular Herbal Pads With Wings, Super Herbal Pads With Wings, Postpartum Herbal Pads

Mommy-To-Be

Mommy-To-Be Foaming Wash, Mommy-To-Be Wipes, Postpartum Herbal Pads

Refresh & Rejuvenate

Lavender Refreshing Panty Spray, Jasmine Refreshing Panty Spray, Calming Lavender Bath Bombs, Fragrance-Free Balancing Bath Bombs

Soothe

Boric Acid & Herbs Suppositories, Soothing Lavender Vulva Cream, Soothing Body Balm

*In addition, travel size products are available.


Personally, I’m never going back to those toxic feminine care brands that have been portrayed as the “best”. Even before having a baby, I have never experienced severe cramping or heavy bleeding. However, the first day cramps are not cool, but I seriously can not recall cramping when I began using The Honey Pot Herbal Pads With Wings. Just FYI, the pads contain essential oils that that help with cramps and discomfort. With growing popularity, the Honey Pot website is constantly sold out. My advice is to shop at your local retailer that carries The Honey Pot. The products that I have now were either purchased at Target or Walgreens. Use their store locator to determine where you can purchase their products in your area. I highly, highly recommend The Honey Pot. I would love to hear about your experience in the comments.
