So a lot of viewers have been asking, "How do we test the temperature of our baby's bath?" Now of course the easiest way if you have a bath thermometer itself. Now this should read between 37-38°C.

If you haven't got a bath thermometer, the easiest way is the old fashioned way, with your elbow or your wrist. These are the two most sensitive parts of the body. So pop your elbow in, or the wrist and the bath should feel just warm, not too hot. Always remember to swish the bath water around so that you don't have any hot spots.
