Can a hot bath cause your temperature to rise?
Yes. The average temperature for a bath or shower is warmer than core body temperature. If a body is left in the tub for long periods of time, body temperature will begin to rise, just like anything else. Your body will react to maintain homeostasis, but its usually not enough to stop the rising temperature. Suggestion? Run a cooler bath, or add cold water if you are feeling too hot. If you are giving a bath to an infant, look at skin color, if the skin is really red, you should be lowering the temperature of the bath water. If you are wondering how hot a bath should be, run some water on the inside of your forearm, that is the most sensitive part of your arm. If its warm, its perfect :)

If there are no other symptoms and it is only occurring over a period of a couple of hours, it is likely that it may be from a dye the child has ingested.

you are bleeding anywhere from your nasal passages to your stomach--blood gives you nausea & causes vomiting. Regardless, you need to go see a doctor.

What are the chances of a child with light blue skin?
The chances of a child being born with light blue skin are improbable. However, a condition commonly known as "Blue Baby Syndrome" can occur when there is a difference in Rh factor between mother and child. The baby's skin is not actually blue in color, but appears blue because of the lack of oxygenated blood needed to keep the baby alive. This is also known as cyanosis. This syndrome can be fatal if not appropriately treated. Fortunately, it can also be prevented with an injection shortly after the birth of the mother's first child.
