Red Nose Education

Red Nose does not have specific information on water temperature for a baby’s bath.
Raising Children’s Network has the following information:

Check the water temperature is 37-38°C before you put your baby in.  If you don’t have a thermometer, use your wrist or elbow to test the temperature – it should be comfortably warm, not hot.
