The ideal temperature for a babys bath is around 98.6°F (between 37°C and 38°C) . This temperature is best for most babies and helps them feel calmer and relaxed. To ensure that the temperature is just right for your little one, consider these tips:

• Always draw the bath for the baby and check the water temperature before gently placing them in.
• Never turn on the tap or run the water while the baby is in the bath. A sudden burst of hot water could cause burns.
• Check the bath temperature using a thermometer. You could also test the temperature by putting your arm in. If your skin goes red, the water is too hot for your child.
• Keep water around 100°F (38°C) or below.
• Set water heaters at 120°F (48.9°C) to prevent burns.

It is important to keep the room warm so that the baby does not get cold. The bathing room should be warm enough, aiming for a room temperature of about 75 to 80 degrees. Babies lose body heat very quickly, especially when theyre naked, so make sure the bathroom or room where you’re bathing your little one is warm before you begin.
