Helping a baby take a bath is a common practice in daily life, but if the temperature of the baby's bath water is not properly tested, it can easily lead to serious consequences such as skin burns. For couples who are new parents, it is not easy to know the temperature of the baby's bath water. So, what do you think of the baby's bath temperature?
Firstly, when parents want to give their baby a bath, they can use their elbow joints to test the water temperature and feel that the bath water is not too hot when preparing the bath water. The water temperature should be warm, just cool. Because the baby's skin is relatively tender, the temperature that parents test with their hands is warm, and the baby already feels hot. Therefore, it is better for the baby to have a slightly lower water temperature.
Secondly, mothers and fathers can buy a thermometer for babies to use during bathing. This thermometer is cute, practical, and convenient. If possible, it is best to give babies a bath once a day or every other day. In addition to cleaning the skin, the stimulation of the water temperature on the skin can also increase the child's perceptual training and promote the baby's metabolism.
Parents should also communicate and touch their babies more. It is best to have a bath water temperature close to human body temperature, as babies have weak temperature regulation abilities and are prone to catching a cold or getting burned if they are too cold or too hot. When mothers and fathers bathe their babies, it is best to first add cold water, then heat the water until the temperature is suitable before putting the baby into the water. If it's winter and the water temperature drops quickly, you can prepare some slightly warmer water and slowly add it to the basin, but be careful not to let the temperature get too high and not directly pour it on the baby.
