Bath temperature in a heatwave

Hi all,

New mum here - my house is like a sauna in summer with the sun pointing through the windows all day. I can't keep it cool despite keeping the blinds up and having the fans on. My son is 11 weeks old, what's the lowest temperature I can run a bath in hopes to call him down?

Thanks!

just do normal bath temp - ie when you touch it with your elbow it shouldn’t feel warm or cold. I wouldn’t do colder for such a young baby. If he has the fan on him he will be fine. Babies live in hot temperatures all around the world and survive.

Thank you, we will stick to normal temp then!

**Cool, lol
