Taking care of baby: Taking care of your baby is important. You should be able to tell from cues how your baby is doing. When you say 'lukewarm' - I assume that means comfortable so there's no crying or distress. That would be something I'd worry about. When I studied in the Phils, I used to like to bathe later in the day - when it was so hot, and that way it's more refreshing and even fun (?!) for your child. Ingats
