Armpit: Remove child's clothing above waist and place thermometer under child's armpit. Thermometer must touch skin and not clothing.
For newborns, babies less than three months old, start with an armpit temperature. For children 3 months old to 4 years old check temperature rectally or with an electronic pacifier thermometer or ear thermometer. Children 4 years old and older can use an oral digital thermometer under the tongue.
