They make rubber duckies that have a temp gauge. Some will actually tell you the temp. of the water, mine has a blue pad on the bottom that changes color when it is too hot. I stick my arms in the water to make sure it is the right temperature. My hands are less sensitive so I find it hard to sense the temp. with them. I can usually tell after I put my arm in if it is too hot or not warm enough. Its funny when people say it should be 98 degrees or so what does that mean when you are gauging the temp with your hands? My baby bathtub has a temp. gauge built into it and this makes it even easier. I stil test it with my arms though and make sure it is a temp. that is comfortable.

I'm not sure of the exact temp. All i know is my baby liked the water warmer than colder. I would make it luke warm. feel it with your rist. Just not too hot. Also, they have these bath toys, i have two of them. They are plastic toys that float in tub for the child to play with. On the bottom of them, they have something that says "too hot" and it lights up if the water is too hot for your kid. I used this all the time and still do just because my child likes to play with the toy now. Also, we had one of those lil' bathtubs for infants. It had thermometer right on the outside of it. Good luck.

Hi,
I have one of those ducks but I really did not like it. I bought this turtle thermometer at Walmart that has the temperature on it as well as the words hot, warm, and cold. Really quick reading! It only cost a couple of bucks.
Temperature is 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius).
My daughter was not thrilled with baths at first but now she loves them! Tomight she decided to drench me from head to toe as she excitedly kicked in the bath tub!
Good luck!

97 degrees F is what my 4 month old son enjoys, it is warm but not hot. Buy a bath tub with the thermometer in the bottom of it. Also, the slings the hold your baby up in the tub, are really nice!

Between 90 and 100 degrees. Test with your wrist or elbow.
Personally I think it should be body temperature or a little warmer.
My kids always enjoyed a warmer bath!!!

Get one of those ducks that has a thermomoter on the bottom. It will tell you if it is too hot. Otherwise, test the water on your fore arm as you would do with a bottle. It should just be comfortable and warm.
