Stick your elbow in the water and if it feels too hot then just know it's probably too hot.

I heard which you probably did not ought to bathe them daily, besides the undeniable fact that it did not rely to me. At 2 months that's a stable age to start coming up a dozing, feeding, and evening time table, so I gave my son a bathtub each night as an ingredient to his night-time ordinary. Now he knows of that once tub, there's a bottle, and then it relatively is lighting fixtures out. Baths make toddlers comfortable too that should help them sleep greater valuable--and that's real for my infant simply by fact he zonks out for a stable 9-11 hours.

Just make it comfortable. If it feels hot to you it is too hot, but you don't want her to get cold either, so just make it comfortable. I always make it like dishwater. That way I know it is warm but not to hot to stay in for a while.
I also have this rubber duck ( they sell everywhere, Target and Babies r us for sure) that sits in the water and tells you if it is too hot. I think it is like $4. I found that helpful until I got used to the way the water should feel.
Good Luck!

I don't know the exact temp but it should be just warmer then body temperature. Full the small bath then dunk you elbow deap into the water. If it is just barely warm to your elbow its probably fine for the baby.

97-100 degree's most baby tubs have a temp strip on the bottom of them for you to gage the proper temp. I found with my son he always perfered the higher of the temps. Find out where she is comfortable and continue to bathe her at that temp

Those rubber ducks don't really work, best bet is to test it with your elbow, if you can't feel the water, it's at the perfect temp. If you feel hotness, it's too hot, and if it feels cold on your elbow, then it's too cold.

warm only....and test with your wrist for the temperature.....use very little soap as this dries out the skin.
Never let the baby lie in the water...because it could get too much water in their ears.
Never let the baby alone in any water...not even for the phone.....
By the way, mineral oil - which is baby oil is very bad for any skin.

No more than 100* F. I had a baby bathtub that had a thermometer built in. You can't always rely on your elbow use a thermometer!!!!

They make rubber ducks that say HOT on the bottom and the word changes colors if it is too hot. That's what we use.

luke warm, test it with your elbow...if you feel the heat--it's too warm! You don't need new-fangled devices....your elbow works, and it's free! LOL!
