I always stick my arm in the water up to my elbow. Water should feel tepid.

Luke warm... or air temp but you need to make sure the air temp is around 75 to avoid chills when the baby is taken out of the water. The air temp is more important than the water temp.

Just comfortably warm, not hot. Use your elbow, not your hands to check because your hands are too toughened up by a lifetime of having them in hot water. What may feel warm to your hand will be hot to a baby. Just put your whole forearm in the water and does it feel warm but not warm enough for you? Then it should be about perfect.

You should be able to tell using your elbow if it is too cold or too warm.
Or, if you are able to, buy a bath thermometer from a baby section in Boots, or mothercare etc.

There are some awesome products out there w/ a temperature strip on them- We bought a rubber ducky, when the water is too hot, the bottom of the ducky reads HOT. Very cute.

my doctor told me that the bath water should be warm to the touch of your elbow...if its too cold for your elbow its too cold for the baby and vise versa

the good old way is to dip your elbow into the water, if t's okay for your elbow , definitely it will be good for your baby. my mum thought me.
