What temp did you find the best for baby in the bath?:confused:

I know some find 1degree higher than the recomended worked better, what temp do you find works?

I use whatever is comfortable for me - I've never measured it :detective:

I set the water temp at whatever I am comfortable with. I have never measured the temp. We were told at antenatal classes that using your elbow would likely end up with the water being to cold for bub - which is what I found.

We often have baths together and I find that if I am happy with the temp he is happy.
