Got 1 everytime

I recieved this item as a gift when my daughter was born, I never needed it with her. 3 years later when her brother was born it came in very handy. It has told me about every ear infection he has had ( a total of 17). He is 2 and dosent stay still to long so it takes a few tries to get it right but it does work.

Great idea, didn't work for us & wouldn't recommend

This product is hard to get a reading. The infant cannot be fussing at all and it takes about 10 seconds to get a reading. During that 10 seconds, the infant has to be completely still and quiet - very difficult. It read as yellow (2 out of 5) on my 8 month old and she had a very serious ear infection. It read green (1 out of 5) on my older daughter when she also had an ear infection which kept me from taking her to the doctor and her ear drum ruptured. I would not recommend this product. Good old parental instinct is much better.
