How to Maintain Safe Baby Bath Temperature

by Sonia Singh Hi Everyone, I am Sonia. I love to read and write

Bath time with little babies is always fun. But the joy of holding them in hands while giving them a bath also comes with a big responsibility to ensure that the bath is relaxing and pleasant at the same time. Scalding is a serious risk that parents need to be aware of. They must know that if the water is too hot, it can cause scalding and it may also dry the baby’s soft and delicate skin. On the other hand, if the water is too cold it may cause chilling. Parents must therefore set the right bath temperature before giving their little bundle of joy a bath to ensure that they get a safe, soothing bath.    

As per doctors, the right water temperature for babies (newborns and infants) is between 37 degree to 38 degree Celsius or 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Now the next question is: ‘How to maintain safe baby bath temperature?’

Here are some ways to ensure that: 

- Check the water temperature before filling the tub. Adjust the temperature through its settings. If you notice that hot water is coming out of the tap/faucet, you must put off the tap.

- A good way to ensure safe baby bath temperature is by filling the bucket with cold water first and then mixing hot water in it.

- Mix the water well and keep checking the temperature at regular intervals by putting a thermometer in the bathtub/bucket.
 
-  You can also use your elbow to check if the water is too hot or cold for the baby.

- Also keep some bath toys in the tub to distract your baby when giving him/her a bath.
 
- Do know that temperature changes in water can happen quickly so don’t bath your baby with water still running in the tub.

While following the above tips will help you maintain an ideal bath temperature for your baby, it is also important that you choose the right bath care products for his/her soft delicate and gentle skin.
