What is the appropriate water temperature for a child's bath?

Family members still need to know more common sense about bathing their children, so as to avoid threats and harm to their children's health. So what is the appropriate water temperature for bathing children? Children's skin is very tender and easily irritated by hot water. Therefore, the water temperature should not be too hot, but also not too cold. Once they catch a cold, they will have a cold, fever and other phenomena. This must be taken seriously.

1. Bathing frequency

If babies' diapers are changed and washed properly, they don't actually need to take a bath every day. Some reports suggest that three baths a week are good for children during their first year of life. When the baby becomes active, such as crawling and walking, the frequency of bathing should be increased. Another reason to bathe a baby more frequently is when he or she starts eating solid foods, until the baby learns how to use a spoon and puts food directly into the mouth so that the solid food does not fall into the folds of the baby's skin. Not to mention the frequency of bathing, the water temperature and the bathing room will make children excited.

2. Temperature

The temperature should be moderate when bathing your baby. If the water is too hot, it may burn the baby's delicate skin; if the water is too cold, the baby may catch a cold easily. Medically, the recommended water temperature is around 37℃-40℃, but sensing the water temperature with just the hands of adults is very inaccurate. When using: Please put hot water first and then the thermometer; stir the hot water before measuring; after use, please shake off the water and dry in a cool place; please be careful not to drop it on the ground or use it carelessly, otherwise the thermometer will malfunction.

When bathing: Before putting the baby into the bathtub, be sure to check the temperature with your hand; the recommended hot water temperature is 38℃ in summer and 40-42℃ in winter; the indoor temperature is most suitable at 20℃-23℃, especially in winter when it is cold; in order not to make the baby tired during bathing, please avoid bathing for a long time, and take the baby out immediately after about 5 to 7 minutes; avoid bathing the baby one hour before and after breastfeeding.

Note: Please confirm before use. If the following situations occur, please stop using it immediately: the red temperature-sensitive liquid is broken; the temperature before use is different from the room temperature; the glass tube is broken and the liquid leaks out.

When the temperature is appropriate, you should also pay attention to the fact that the child's bathing time should not be too long. It is a good idea to bathe or swim your child frequently, which can keep the body clean and hygienic and effectively improve the child's immunity.
