/Common Problems, bathing
You should have seen a demonstration bathing in the maternity hospital. Remember to fill bath with water to a depth of 4 inches (10cm), no deeper & check the temperature (water must be at blood-heat temperature). Test the water with your elbow, if it is comfortable, the temperature is correct. Now proceed by undressing baby.
