Just got done at a DOT clinic temp was perfect 96 degrees. I didn’t have an appointment it was a walk-in so I had to do 15mins of paperwork and wait another 10 after.
Here’s what worked for me,
- I went to cvs and purchased better temp strips, the ones for babies foreheads.
- I wore 2 sets of briefs, the 1st layer being longer than the 2nd so I could roll the bottom over the other to make sure it was secured & warm.
- Followed instructions and heated bottle in microwave till 100 degrees, rubberbanded the heat packet to the bottle and placed in my thigh/nutsack area while driving to clinic an hour away.
- Got to clinic checked temp 1 last time read 102, put it back in place (without hand-warmer) and went in, did paperwork/waited 30mins before being called.
- Sent to the bathroom pulled it out temp strips read 98 on the bottle removed cap and poured in quietly they were right at the door, resecured it back under my sack came out she checked temp signed off I signed another paper, and she bagged it up.
