    He's probably old enough if you hold the thermometer for him...digital ones aren't too expensive nowadays.

    You can use under arm as well, but the reading will be about a degree cooler.

    He's probably old enough to switch to oral now, but don't forget to clean the thermometer real good first.

    Dear Posters,

    I wanted to offer a brief explanation for locking this thread. While the original post in itself is not inappropriate, the title is to inviting for inappropriate conversations. The original post could have easily included the word thermometer (fits within title restrictions). If you are looking for more answers, please repost with a more appropriate title.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and enjoy your stay on MyFitnessPal!
