iThermonitor 12+

I loved this device for my infant so I didn’t have to wake him in the night for temp checks when he’d spike a fever. I just taped it under his arm with medical paper tape so it wouldn’t be hurtful to remove later, and he could sleep peacefully and undisturbed while I kept watch on his temperature. I had it connected to my old iPhone which stayed next to his crib and could monitor it remotely on my cell phone so I never missed an alert. After some updates to the app over the course of a couple of years, I can no longer monitor remotely from a second device which was the biggest advantage to this product for me. I really loved this and it worked wonderfully in the first year of having it. I still use it on my now toddler and it still works effectively. I really miss the ability to connect a second device though so I’m shopping for a new product that features everything I require.

I had purchased this device on sale & had my doubts of it not working correctly due to previous monitors I have purchased. This is extremely easy to use & while my son ended up hospitalized, the doctors actually compared this device to the hospital thermometer that my son kept pulling off. It was accurate EVERY time. It was not bothersome for my son as he really didn’t remember it was under his arm. Of course, I am that mom that stays as close to my children as possible...especially if they are sick. Therefore I had zero troubles for it becoming unconnected to my phone. Use of this was tremendously easier than waking my son that had 6 surgeries when he was finally resting peacefully. My mind was at ease to know I could just look at my phone at any given second to check on his fever. There is also an awesome alert setting that will allow you to be notified if temp drops too low or too high (per your discretion) if you are not a helicopter parent like me that just left it on the screen. Thanks so much for helping to assist me with saving my son’s life. We knew the infection was present when his temps started rising. If you read the directions, there is no way to go wrong!

I’m confused why others are having such a hard time. There are many reasons why you have to stay close to baby while monitoring their temperature. First is that the device itself is using a very low energy blue tooth technology as to save battery life and not burn your child. (I personally stay close to my child anyways while they are sick) Second make sure you are reading your directions properly on where to place the device, and hold adhesive patch against skin for 8 minutes. I have a wiggly almost two year old so I add a little bit of medical tape since he can pick at the patch. It’s definitely not a perfect app, but I love being able to be woken up by an alarm when my son’s temperature spikes to 104 like it did last month. Please read your device’s directions well and you should have minimal problems.
