Before you start running your baby's bath, make sure that you have everything that you need within arms reach.

Take extra care when preparing your baby's bath. Make sure that the water is warm enough to make your baby feel comfortable. The idea water temperature for bathing your baby is about 90F to 100F. When adding hot water into your baby's bath, swirl the water around to avoid hot spots. Double check the temperature of the water before you put your baby into the baby bath tub seat.
To check the temperature of the water, dip your wrist into the water. Once you are sure that the temperature of the water is comfortable enough for your baby place him or her on the baby bath tub seat.
