Why do they recommend not to take hot baths or hot showers? Curious...

Thanks girls 😊😊

I've heard it's because baby can't regulate their own temperature yet...so if you heat them up too much they can't cool down. But I'm not sure, so maybe research it?

It rises your body temperature which isn't safe for the baby

I was told you can take hot baths and showers just not hot tubs . Reason being a hot tub is at a steady temperature as a shower and bath can and will get cooler as time goes on especially a bath .so it will not over heat your body or rise you heart rate . However don't make your bath super hot to begin with .

Cause I take hot baths every day I just make sure they aren't too hot and I drink ice water to keep baby cool

It brings up your heart rate which is bad for baby and can "cook" the baby if it's too hot, because it brings your temp up. As long as your skin doesn't then red or your face doesn't feel hot it should be fine
