Donot use hot water, instead use only lukewarm water and use normal water in Summers,babies have very soft skin,too much hot water will irritate the skin of the baby and cause vasodilation of skin blood vessels and may sometimes cause itching, leading to redness of face
Next Steps
use normal or Luke warm water only and apply moisturizer to baby
