What Temperature Is Safe For Baby?
The temperature of your baby bath water will depend on your baby’s preference and their age. The optimal water temperature should be around 100°F or 38°C (1).
The reason for this temperature is to get the water near to your baby’s own body temperature. Young babies cannot regulate their body temperatures and can lose heat quickly.
Your babies body temperature control is important for their sensitive skin, and for their comfort. Plus, nobody wants a screaming child with a burnt bum!
Anyway, without further ado, here are some of the best baby bath thermometers that will make bath time not only safe, but fun!

Use: Are you happy with a simple bath thermometer that will take temperature readings that floats in the corner of the bath, or would you prefer one with some more functions? There are many baby bather thermometers that do more than just tell the temperature of bath water, like thermometers with sponge holders, clock displays, and those that are also toys that the child can play with.

Cleaning: Bath scum is pretty gross Made even more gross when there is sometimes pee or poo in the bathwater. Make sure how to find out how to properly and thoroughly clean the thermometer, and if it has been treated with an antibacterial product to make it last longer with minimal cleaning required.
Digital Display: Would you like the temperature of the baby bath thermometer to show in Fahrenheit or Celsius? Is a color-changing, temperature-sensitive thermometer what you are after? Some of these thermometers also show the time, can act as timers to time the bath time session and also will also have readings that change color if the temperature is too hot or too cold.
