Braun ear thermometer. I do not find the contactless forehead ones accurate at all. Even in dr offices.

A rectal thermometer is the most accurate at that age. I have a Safety First and a CVS brand one and they both work well.

I did not have a good experience. Both ears different readings. Each ear I can take a reading 5 times and I'll get 5 different readings.

I use a forehead thermometer and find it really accurate. I can take it ten times in a row and will get the same reading, and I’ll use it on myself and get the same reading as my regular thermometer

The most accurate obviously is rectal but my baby absolutely hates it and this makes my life so much easier
