First, get the water temperature set before you put your baby in the bath. Use your own hand as a guide. If the water is comfortable (not warmish, not coldish, just skin temperature) for you, take a handful and pour it on Baby's leg or arm. If you get a good reaction or no reaction, you're fine. Babies don't get really dirty to begin with, so you'll probably spend more time playing than actually washing, and that's OK too. Babies love the contact.

They have those little temp ducks I would try that and if you do not have one of those put your forearm in the water. It should be warm the baby will let you know if it is to hot by screaming or to cold by shivering. Good Luck

lukewarm, hold your wrist under the running water, and it should feel kinda cool to your touch, but not cold, Like room temp lol.

Lukewarm, as temperatures above 120F can burn your child. About 80-90F is a good safe range.

I usually test the water to my wrist. If it is warm then its okay. You want it mild to your skin because your baby has very soft sensitive skin. She has never turned red or cried since I had her. That is how I test her water everytime.

lukewarm water. some baby bathtubs come with a thermometer in it to tell what the water is.
