Pacifiers and Rectal Temperatures

Sometimes I like to regress back to my baby days and it’s also a comfort thing to have a pacifier in my mouth while my temperature is being taken….I only take or have my temperature taken rectally!

Does any one else use a pacifier during temperature checks or other times!

I sometimes sleep with a pacifier as well!

I did this with a playmate... it is comforting.

I have never tried that but it gave me ideas with the pacifier. I may have to buy some next time I am at the store. Lol

@Tabitha32 nuk and ma’am are my favorite brands of pacifier and I always get the toddler size….it fits my mouth perfectly! The pacifier helps me sleep at night but it’s also soothing while I get my temperature checked….over my husbands lap is my favorite position!

I find it very soothing to read Bible verses while taking my rectal temperature. Have you tried that yet?

Yes my wife gives me a paci during temperature checks. It is quite soothing.
