Actually the hard part is that your test equipment (baby) needs constance
maintenance, and you lose a significant amount of development time keeping
the equipment up.  Of course as the baby-meter gets older it becomes more
intelligent and disallows such usage - keeping a supply of babies around
gets expensive, not to mention that replacement parts are non existant,
nevermind the cost.

At this point it is less expensive in both time and cost to let someone
buy you a laser temperature meter for your next major holiday.
