2 Answers

Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children7 years ago

A. For tepid sponge bathing use luke warm water. The water temperature should be around 80 to 90 degree Fahrenheit. Do not use cold water. Wipe the baby's face, arms, legs, body and back. Keep safe small cloth dipped in water under bothering the arm pits and forehead. Remove it when the cloth turn hot. Continue this for fifteen to twenty minutes. Stop it whenever u think the child shivers.
