I use the ear thermometer, knowing it's usually 1 degree low. If it seems like he has a temp, I then confirm with the rectal, which is the most accurate.

did the vick's forehead one tell you to add to that number??  I would say the pacifier is more accurate out of the 2 you used.

Forehead one most accurate imo. I use one and its always been most accurate. Its also what her and her from use..

When checking for a temp on a child under a year rectal is best

I just looked and there are many bad reviews on the Vick's forehead thermometer.

Erm, I use rectal.

Of the two you have I would say the pacifier one

At this point...doesn't matter enough.  Both of those temps aren't anything crazy so I wouldn't even worry about accuracy at this point.  I certainly wouldn't do a rectal temp to determine accuracy when the temp is this low.  Unless the temp is pretty darn high accuracy isn't really an issue as much as trending and how the child is feeling.
