What is the appropriate temperature for a newborn baby to take a bath?

When bathing your baby, you must pay attention to various issues, such as whether to use shower gel or soap, or to use clean water. Mothers also have to worry about what temperature of water to use to bathe the baby. In fact, these questions all have answers, and there are also certain rules for bathing. If it is for the good of your baby, you must learn about it.

1. Bathing temperature: The suitable bathing water temperature for babies is 38-39 degrees Celsius in summer and 40-41 degrees Celsius in winter.

2. Bathing time: arrange it 1-2 hours before feeding to avoid spitting up milk. Each time should not exceed 10 minutes.

3. Choice of baby soap: It is better to choose baby soap with higher oil content but lower alkalinity and irritation.

4. When cleaning your nose and ears: clean only what you can see and don't try to rub inside.

5. When washing a baby girl: Never separate her labia to clean the inside, as this will prevent the flow of mucus that can kill bacteria.

6. When washing a baby boy: Never push up the foreskin of a baby boy to clean the inside, as this may easily tear or damage the foreskin.

7. When cleaning the vulva of a baby girl: clean from front to back. This prevents bacteria from the anus from spreading to the vagina and causing infection.

8. When cleaning the baby's umbilical cord stump: Soak the cotton in alcohol and carefully clean the wrinkles of the skin around the umbilical cord stump. Then use clean cotton to dip in talcum powder and dry the stump.

9. When cleaning the baby's bottom: use a ball of cotton or a piece of gauze each time, soak it in warm water after washing, and clean it thoroughly.

What is the appropriate temperature of water for a newborn baby’s bath? The answer has been given above. In fact, this is not the real answer. Every baby’s physique is different, so it depends on the baby’s own feelings. Also, be careful not to bathe your baby too often, because the baby's skin is very fragile and frequent bathing is not good.
