Fever Smart Temperature Monitor - Review

Blog main cropped

The Fever Smart Temperature Monitor is a revolutionary new product which will be life changing for parents. Having a sick child is an extremely stressful time and this technology is going to significantly help to ease the worry when a child has a fever. I do not think I will ever forget how worrying and exhausting the first year of Arjun (our first son) life was. Right through winter he was very sick and even hospitalised a couple of times - the FeverSmart Temperature Monitor is something that would have been fantastic had it been around then.

How Fever Smart Works

The ease of the FeverSmart Temperature Monitor, is one of its standout features. You simply place the thermometer under your baby’s arm which sticks with a non-allergenic pad and then pair the monitor to a simple phone app. This literally allows you to safely monitor their baby’s temperature at all times without having to wake the baby! You can see just how easy this really is on our vlog where we demonstrate the new technology on little Olive here.

The App

The app for the FeverSmart monitor is very easy to download set up. You can even put in a profile photo for each child. Once the monitor is placed on your child, it can take up to eight minutes to warm up and then it simply tracks any changes in temperature, and alerts you if the temperature gets high. One of the main pieces of advice I often suggest to parents is to monitor their child’s vitals including daily food and sleep intake. This enables you to track any patterns or changes. You can also record what medicine is given and when.

Where You Find the FeverSmart Temperature Monitor?

You will be able to find the FeverSmart Temperature Monitor at most local pharmacies here in New Zealand or purchase online at Pharmacy Direct and Mighty Ape. 

To have the technology to continually monitor a child’s temperature feeding real time data through to a phone app that you can have right beside you and through the night is ground breaking and will drastically ease the pressure for parents during a very worrying time.

Spiced Meat Loaf

This is a little taster for you of one of the most popular recipes from my first cook book, Healthy Easy Dinners for Busy Mums. This meat loaf is an old school recipe with a bit of jazz.

Homemade Boysenberry Gummies

Image
This recipe takes the old-school gummie bears and turns them into a immune boosting healthy hit! Made from foods designed by mother nature to help us ward off and fight germs including lemons, oranges and boysenberries - which also give these gummies a wonderful colour. Honey provides a dash of extra sweetness, helps to ease sore throats and has anti-inflammatory properties of it's own. Finally the gelatine is the surprise ingredient here which not only hold everything together but there is now a lot of research to show it actively helps to reduce inflammation. For those that are vegetarian there are now also gelatine options for you too in most local supermarkets. Ingredients: 1 cup of frozen boysenberries (or other berries is fine too!) Juice from 1 lemon Juice from 1/2 an orange 2 tablespoons of honey 2 x 10g packets of gelatine   Directions: 1. Place the boysenberries into a blender and squeeze in the lemon and orange juice. I find it helpful to slightly warm the berries for 30

Starting Solids - The Meat Question?

Image
How to introduce meat to babies is something that I see a lot of parents unsure about and there is not a lot of information on why this is really important. In my previous blog on starting solids, I discussed some crucial reasons why I do not recommend starting babies on baby rice (or variation of infant cereal). I also spoke about starting off on a staple vegetable such as pumpkin or kumara, quickly followed by a meat source. The key reason for this is due to babies iron levels. Breast milk contains only low (or little levels) of iron, and to compensate babies are born with sufficient iron stores to last up until approximately six months of age, after which it drastically drops off. This is why the recommendation is for babies to start complimentary feeding at six months of age. Adding to the current whirlpool of information we are seeing some research to suggest (as well as guidelines from some health care providers) starting babies at four months on solids. Babies develop at differ
