Question
Would 50-degree water burn a baby?
Answer
50-degree water is quite hot, and it’s not recommended for babies to drink it. If you need to give your baby water, it’s best to keep the temperature around thirty to forty degrees. Mommy can try with formula milk first to prevent burning the baby. Since babies are small, the skin in their mouth is easily damaged, and both extreme cold and heat are not good. Therefore, anything over 10 degrees Celsius above the normal body temperature is sufficient. It’s advisable to check with a hospital.
