| bath water temp How warm should the water be for a bath? I use a sprayer attached to the faucet of a utility sink. Sometimes I think that I might have the water temp too warm. What's the proper way to judge the correct water temp?

| On your wrist? That's what I've been doing. Should it be the same temp as the bath water for a baby then?

| I struggle with gauging good water temperatures because I like my own showers way too hot. I have learned to use cooler water on the dogs and I test it on my wrist or inner elbow. If your baby's skin is red or deep pink after a bath, chances are the water was too hot. I think it is more important that the room is warm. The water temperature used for a human baby sounds right.

| Thanks Maximo. I love too hot showers as well. Since the weather has turned, I've been having a hard time judging the correct water temp. I wasn't overly concerned in the summer. I have a portable ceramic heater that I turn on in the bathroom about 15 minutes before bath time. The room is heated, but it's too large to get hot & steamy like a bathroom. Since they aren't immersed in bath water, I'm always worried that they're cold. I haven't noticed any red or pink. I'll try testing the water on my inner elbow next time.
