Hot bath water?

How hot is too hot when it comes to kids bathwater?

Cora is almost 5, and she likes it HOT. Hot like I like it. Turning the skin pink, just about as hot as a hot tub.

When I give her a bath, after a few minutes she begs me for more hot water.



So how hot is too hot? Or can she have it how she likes it?

i wouldnt use water hotter than 100 degrees.

Maddie like hot water.
We give her a bath how she likes. As long as it doesn't burn her, I don't see what the problem would be.

How can I tell that without a thermometer?

As long as she's comfortable, then what's the problem? One of my kids prefers tepid bathwater and one of my kids prefers hot water. Whatever makes them happy.

As long as it is not giving her burns (which I'm sure you wouldn't allow) I don't see why you should make her take cooler baths.

well make sure your water heater isnt turned up higher than 120 degrees. i guess she would let you know if its too hot

It turns her skin red... but in all honesty, everything turns her skin red lol. She is like me that way

I've just always heard to never give them a bath where thier skin gets pink/red

I have no control over the water temps here. I know it gets over 120.

how can you not control your water heater it has a knob on it for temp control

Meh. If it's not burning her, there's no harm. My kids can get red skin from a warm bath.   I love scalding hot baths. Mmm.

If she l ives in a complex, it may be against her lease to fiddle with it.

I live in an apartment complex. The water heater isn't even available to me lol. It's in a locked room in the basement

However they like it. My kids like scalding hot water for showers and baths lol always have.

So they use it that way. Only thing is, that it dys out the skin really bad. lol I love hot hot hot showers and baths, and when I get in with my kids, its too hot for me, they use no cold water at all, just scalding hot. My kids get out looking like crabs, beat red. lol
