Yes, the Apollo Pharmacy digital flexible thermometer can be used to check the temperature of a newborn baby. It is safe, easy to use and gives quick readings when used correctly. For newborns, the most accurate measurement is usually a rectal temperature, especially in babies under three months of age, as it reflects core body temperature. However, for home use, many parents prefer checking the axillary underarm temperature, as it is safer and more comfortable. Before use, clean the thermometer properly. Place it gently under the baby's underarm and keep the arm close to the body until it beeps. Do not force it or use it roughly, as newborn skin is very delicate. A normal newborn temperature is usually between 36.5 and 37.5 degrees Celsius. If the baby has a fever, poor feeding, unusual sleepiness, or appears unwell, consult a paediatrician immediately for proper evaluation.
