    I'm subscribing for some tips too. I've been umming and erring about one too. I had an ear one but it is too big to get in their ears properly to get an accurate reading - I even brought the kids one. I have heard good and bad things about forehead ones - they can give inaccurate readings if bubby is clammy/sweaty. I use the one under the arm but it getting harder to use as bubby gets bigger and more wiggly. Going to be interesting to see what others say.

    I got given one of those Braun ones as a present, and I think it's great. I think there is a newer version of it now which may be better (with mine you can't see the numbers in the dark - the display should light up!)....but you pop it in their ear...press the button and it's DONE...too easy

    same as Minimax by the sounds of things - Braun Thermoscan. Has done me through my 3 kids at all ages and works great.

    good luck

    I bought one from the chemist that goes under their arm, it has a round disk that sits comfortably and it gives quite a good reading.

    Can't think of the brand and it's not with me but it's BLUE..
