Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 <can any harm be done by a child insisting on ice cold water for a bath? It s really odd but it is the only way he wants to take it now and it worrys me.> Of course, this could be a seasonal thing. A cold bath is more like a swimming pool. In case it's a sulfate/sulfite thing, my advice would be to put two cups of Epsom Salts in a full tub of water that is as hot as is age appropriate for your child. Either turn the air conditioning off or close the windows and keep the child in it for at least 20 minutes, but 30 is better. You want the child to sweat, but not roast. We bath our son every other night like this. Pat in Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
