    Our paediatrician told us to pick one and always use the same one, so that the numbers compare over the day. In our house the forehead gun also reads higher than the underarm one. We keep it for a quick check while he's sleeping and confirm with the digital one.

      same one every time makes sense. forehead gun goes in the drawer then. the gap was almost a degree which is what got me
