Baby Bath-Time Challenges | What to Expect

Instead of happily splashing in the water, your baby wails whenever it’s time to take the plunge. What gives? Well, there are many possible reasons for your water woes. Your little one may be letting you know (loudly!) that she’s cold. Or she may hate getting her tiny face wet or her hair shampooed. Then there’s the move to the big tub. Some tots have a hard time making the transition. But hang in there. We’ve got a boatload of tips to make your baby bath time a fun time for all. Fix the freeze.

And have everything ready (supplies gathered, tub filled) before you undress your tot. Get all hands on deck. How to slip your slippery little fish into the tub without startling her?

Shattered! The danger hanging in your bathroom

I had just finished showering and turned off the water. Soaking wet, I did what millions of Americans do every day -- I reached for my snazzy sliding glass shower door . Seconds later, glass was raining down on me. The door had failed somehow and exploded into a million little pieces. The sound was hideous, something between nails on a chalkboard and a torrential downpour. Only this didn't make me wet, it made me bloody. This was the grisly scene in my bathroom after a shower door exploded on me while I showered. I bled substantially from a wound on my right foot and had to walk on glass to get out. Glass shower doors are a substantial upgrade from old, mold- magnet plastic shower curtains found in many older homes. They look great. They let ambient light into the shower and make the bathroom look larger. If you have fancy tile rimming your tub, they show that off. The aesthetics come with a cost however, as I recently learned the hard way: Glass shower and tub enclosures ca...

Randomised controlled trial of thermostatic mixer valves in reducing bath hot tap water temperature in families with young children in social housing

Gambar
Introduction Approximately 2000 emergency department attendances and 500 hospital admissions following bath water scalds to children occur in the UK each year.1 Admissions mostly occur in children aged under 5 years, often involving prolonged inpatient stays , transfer to a specialist hospital or burns unit.1 The cost of treating a severe scald has been estimated at £250<TS, thin space here>000.1 Longer- term effects include disability , disfigurement or psychological harm. What is already known on this topic ▶ Hot bath water scalds are an important public health problem ; their incidence has not declined over recent years. ▶ Thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs) have the potential to reduce scald risk but there have been no randomised controlled trials assessing their effectiveness and acceptability to families. What this study adds ▶ TMVs and educational leaflets are effective in reducing bath hot tap water temperature in the short and longer term and are acceptable to famil...

Should you bathe/shower in Flint water (or any water)?

Gambar
Using a public water supply for drinking or bathing, is a decision that each and every one of us have to make every day based on trust, science and other factors.  The trust issue is critical and cannot be underestimated. After what occurred in Flint from 2014 to the present day, if residents decide to never use tap water again for cooking, bathing or showering, who could blame them? Or for that matter, who could blame those making a similar decision after having witnessed (or hearing about) the Flint water crisis ? We have met with residents of Washington D.C. who decades after being misled about water safety by CDC, EPA and the local utility DC WASA , will never drink unfiltered tap water again. That strikes us as a perfectly reasonable and rational decision based on life experience.  We would never try to “change your mind” on the issue of trust one way or another.  We are very upset that certain agencies responsible for water safety in this country, have proven themselves untrus...
