A Guide to Baby's Temperature
As a parent there always seems to be something to worry about! A common concern in these cooler months is baby’s temperature and how to hit the ‘Goldilocks’ sweet spot – not too cold; not too hot! Monitoring baby Babies can’t regulate their own body temperature for the first six weeks, so it’s important to keep an eye on them and adjust their clothing and room temperature to suit. First up – what is normal? Baby’s temperature should be around 37 degrees Celsius. A mild fever is a temperature higher than 38ºC and a high fever is anything over 39ºC. A thermometer is a great addition to your home first aid kit – giving you a quick and accurate temperature reading. These will typically get used a lot throughout childhood, making them a great investment. Some great options include digital forehead thermometers for quick and contactless checks such as Oricom's Non Contact Infrared Thermometer or Nuk's Baby Flash Thermometer. It’s a good idea to also take your baby’s temperature on a day when they’re content and well, so you can check their ‘normal’. Babies under three months with a mild fever and babies between three and six months with a high fever (over 39ºC) should be taken to the doctor. Another way to gauge baby’s temperature is to gently touch the back of their head or tummy – it should feel warm. (While they offer easier access, don’t go by their hands or feet, as these extremities are often cooler.) Ideal temperature for a sleep space It’s important to make sure the room where your baby is sleeping is at a comfortable temperature - around 18-20ºC. If you have a heater, heat pump, or air conditioning with a thermostat, you can set it to 18ºC and it will flick on and off as the temperature changes throughout the night. Clothing and bedding choices are key Merino is a natural wonder that’s perfect year-round – helping with temperature regulation. It has little pockets of air that keep warmth in on cold days, and cool baby down on a hot day. Another great natural fibre for baby is organic cotton . It can eliminate moisture build up between clothes and your baby’s skin, to keep your them comfortable and dry. Clothes for when you’re out and about For daytime, opt for layers so you can add or remove a layer to keep baby comfortable - again sticking with cotton and merino. If your baby falls asleep in the pram or car - yay! But both spaces can heat up and get airless quickly – so don’t forget to monitor their temperature. Think about ways to provide shade and airflow – and don’t leave them asleep in a car alone. Bath time Ideal water temperature for a bath is 37°C. It should feel warm and soothing, but not too hot for delicate skin. You can test the water with the inside of your wrist, or make it super easy with a Oricom Duck Bath Thermometer or the colour-changing Pebbly.

Bath Time With Baby - The Essentials
Bath Time with Baby 🛁 Bath time can be one of the sweetest parts of your day with baby. The warmth of the water, the calm rhythm of washing, and the giggles that follow all help to build those special moments of connection. Most little ones love the gentle splash of bath time, but if your baby isn’t quite a fan at first, don’t worry – it can take time. 💧 There’s no need to bathe baby every day – on quieter days, a quick top and tail (hands, face, and bottom) is enough to keep them feeling fresh. But when it is bath night, having everything ready can make all the difference. We recommend setting out your essentials beforehand: baby soap, a gentle shampoo, a soft flannel, and post-bath must-haves like a fluffy towel, a nappy, and clean clothes. 👶 Skip the jewellery during bath time to avoid any accidental scratches. And always check the water temperature before placing baby in the bath. The Shnuggle Pebbly Bath Thermometer lights up to let you know when the water’s just right – no guesswork needed. If you don’t have one handy, test the water with the inside of your wrist – it should feel warm, not hot. 🌡️ 🎥 New to bathing your baby? Watch our step-by-step guide linked here for gentle techniques and safety tips to help you feel more confident. Here are a few of our favourite bath-time essentials to help you get started with confidence. Shnuggle Baby Bath The Shnuggle Bath is a game-changer.

How to Bath your Baby
Bathing your Newborn - Soothing, safe, and stress-free Bathing your baby is not only important for hygiene reasons, it’s also a great way to calm and relax them before bedtime. But when you first get home with a tiny, delicate newborn, baths can seem daunting. Getting the water temperature right, using the right products, holding a slippery baby securely – it can all be overwhelming if you haven’t done it before. The good news is, bathing is easy, as long as you follow a few simple safety precautions. Even better, you don’t need to bathe small babies every day. In fact, because their skin dries out so easily, too much exposure to water can actually cause irritation. Two to three baths a week is plenty for a newborn – just give them a gentle wash with a flannel on the other days. Here’s our guide to stress-free bathing from day one: 1. Fill your bath First, fill your bath with a few inches of warm water and place it somewhere safe and stable – the floor or kitchen bench works well. These days, there is a range of different baby baths to choose from – traditional models, convenient Flexi baths that pack away when you’re not using them, and the Shnuggle bath , which keeps baby upright in the water. 2. Test the temperature The ideal water temperature is 37°C. Warm and soothing, but not too hot for your baby’s delicate skin. Traditionally, parents test the water with the inside of their wrist, but you can invest in a water thermometer if you want to be sure. 3. Get your gear Before you undress your baby, make sure you have everything you need at arm’s reach – soft flannels or cloths, a gentle body wash , a clean baby towel , a fresh nappy, and PJs . You don’t want to be stuck trying to find something while you’re holding a wet, screaming baby. 4. Bring in the baby Get baby undressed. Before you place them in the water, use a flannel to drizzle a small amount over the back of their head. This way, going in won’t be such a shock. Gently lift your baby into the water, with one arm under their neck to support their head – your hand should be under their arm to make sure that they don't slip down. Keep that hand in place to keep the baby’s head out of the water while your other hand does the washing. If you’re using a Shnuggle bath , the sloping back, and bottom bump will help keep your baby upright, you just need to keep a hand on their chest to stop them slipping down. 5. Cleanse and protect Although some people prefer to stick to water for baby’s first few baths, it won’t necessarily be enough as your baby gets older. Even if they seem perfectly clean, sweat, skin cells, and other impurities can build up – particularly under nappies and in those chubby creases. Use a small amount of gentle cleanser or body wash to get rid of the grime. 6. Top to bottom Using a clean, soft muslin cloth , wash baby’s face and head, gently wiping around each eye, around the nose and mouth, and behind the ears. Wash theirhair with cleanser or shampoo, and don’t forget the neck – dirt can build up there. Next, gently wash under their arms, followed by tummy and legs. Finally, wash their genitals and bottom, again making sure to gently wash between thigh creases. Rinse any leftover cleanser with a clean flannel or small cup of water. 7. Time to play If your baby is calm and the water is still warm, keep her in a little bit longer. Use a small jug or cup to pour warm water over their belly and chest, swish the water around them, and give them plenty of smiles – you want them to enjoy bath time right from the start. As they get older, you can add bath toys for them to grab as well. 8. Warm and dry When you’re ready to take baby out of the bath, lie a soft, dry towel on a soft surface or get your partner to hold it out. Use both hands to grasp your baby around their chest, supporting the head with your fingers. Lift them out and quickly wrap him in the towel. Because babies lose a lot of heat from their heads, it’s important to dry their hair first – that’s why hooded towels are a great option. Use the towel or a smaller cloth to carefully dry all your baby’s folds and creases – behind the knees, around the neck, and between the toes. Any moisture left behind could cause skin irritation or redness. 9. Moisturise and protect If your baby’s skin seems dry or irritated, now is the time to use a gentle, natural baby oil or lotion . Use a tiny amount and massage into baby’s skin, avoiding their eyes and nappy area. Before you dress them, it’s also a good idea to use a barrier cream to protect their delicate skin overnight. 10. Pyjama time Finally, dress your baby in a fresh nappy and cosy PJs – bath time is done! Extra safety tips Think about turning your home’s hot water temperature down, to avoid scalding or burns. Clean only what you see – don’t put anything inside baby’s ears or nose, and avoid pulling a baby boy’s foreskin. Never, ever leave baby alone in the bath, even for a second.
