What is the most suitable room temperature for a newborn baby to bathe?

Bathing a newborn is an important time for mother and baby to bond. Nowadays, many mothers are working people and have little time to take care of their children. But no matter how busy you are, remember to take time to bathe your baby yourself. This moment is an irreplaceable intimate time. However, bathing a baby is also a science, and it is necessary to master some basic knowledge, so that you can give the baby a comfortable feeling without causing any harm to the baby's body.

The first thing to do is to prepare all the items needed for bathing. For example, disinfection materials for the umbilical cord (before the newborn's umbilical cord falls off), pre-changed baby blankets, clothes, diapers, as well as small towels, large bath towels, bathtubs, cold water, hot water, baby powder, etc. Also check your fingernails to avoid scratching your baby, and then wash your hands with soap. A newborn baby is delicate. He has just left the most secure womb of his mother, so we have to carefully create an ideal environment and suitable temperature for him. It is best to maintain the room temperature between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius, which is generally the most comfortable; the water temperature should be around 37 degrees Celsius to 42 degrees Celsius. You can first pour cold water into the basin, then add hot water, and then test it with your wrist or elbow to make the water temperature just right. It is worth noting that when bathing, you should avoid being directly blown by gusts of wind to prevent catching a cold and getting sick. Bathing time should be arranged 1 to 2 hours after breastfeeding the baby, otherwise it is easy to cause vomiting. During the whole process, special attention should be paid to cleaning and drying the wrinkles and curved parts of the body, and the movements should be gentle so that the baby feels safe.

Babies are very fragile after birth, and temperatures that are too high or too low can easily harm them. There are many other issues that need to be paid attention to when bathing a newborn, such as protecting the baby's eyes during bathing, not letting water flow into the baby's ears, and trying not to apply talcum powder to the baby after bathing, etc. In short, mothers must be especially careful when bathing their babies. The above is what we have introduced to you about what the indoor temperature should be when bathing a baby. I believe every mother will clearly understand how to bathe her baby after reading this.
