How do you maintain temperature of water during water-birth?

When you finish running the bath then stick your elbow to test how warm it is because its no good using your hand because your hand can take in more heat then your elbow. Try not to keep your baby in the bath for to long because it will probably get fed up and start crying. If your baby likes the bath and its been in for quite a while then check the temperature with your elbow again and see what you think if its too cold then add a bit of warm water but don't do that with your baby in the bath because if it gets too hot and you don't realize then your baby's skin could be scolded and damaged.
