      Is the water temperature of a baby's bath the same as that of an adult?

      Bathing the baby is a must every day, because the baby has a fast metabolism and a lot of sebum secretion, which is good for the baby's growth and development. If possible, you should wash and touch it twice a day. If it is summer, washing three or four times is not much.

      However, the temperature of the baby's bath water should not be too high. The water temperature is about 37℃-40℃, or you can test the water with an adult's elbow and wrist, and it will feel lukewarm or not hot. In summer, the temperature of the bath water is one degree lower than the baby's body temperature. In winter, the temperature of the bath water is the same as or one degree higher than the baby's body temperature. Such bathing can improve the baby's immunity.
