Can babies go to sauna?

Babies have a delicate balance they need to maintain. A sauna would raise their temputure too much, and could be deadly. Do not put them in hot tubs either.

Unless your baby comes into contact with your genital area, you aren't going to pass it on to your baby.\n\nWashing your hands will help if you have touched your genital area and then are going to touch the baby.  Other than that, no need to wash your hands (other than colds, flus, basic hygiene, etc.).  And no worries with clothing.\n\nThere is some thought that maybe damp towels that YOU have used on your genital area MIGHT spread it, but its not been proven in a lab.\n\nCheck out the handbook I have listed as a source.  And there are really good articles and forums at the second source.

Infared saunas rock.  That's the technical term of course!  Seriously, my mom has one that's a stand alone, 4 person, dry, infared sauna and it is amazing.  The heat penetrates to 1 1/2 inches within the body stimulating internal organs and warming you from the inside out.  You sweat like crazy (which is great for detox and to relieve stress from the cleansing organs) and don't have to sit in a room full of lung burning steam.  As far as individual injury, isolated area infared treatment, I have heard great things about it as well.  I know a lot of the athletes are using it these days becuase it aids in the speedy recovery of injuries.

The age most often cited as being too young for a hot tub is 5 years old.  If the temperature is kept at 104 and below, and an adult is present, this should be ok for short periods.

yes\n\nhot tubs\nHere are some things to consider about hot tubs and children: \n\nA hot tub is a body of water in which a child can drown. That has to be first and foremost on your list of concerns. Tubs should be covered when not in use, and provision made to keep small children away from open tubs. \nHot tubs are hot. Small children have much less ability to withstand heat stress than older children, adolescents and adults. Exercise great caution about putting young children - babies and toddlers - in a hot tub. I personally would advise you follow a rule that until kids are out of diapers, they are too small for the hot tub. \nWhich leads to the discussion of hygeine: diapered children are fundamentally dirty down there no matter how clean you think you keep them. Again, to me this is a good reason to keep little kids out of the tub. \nGerms like warm water. Proper chlorination of hot tubs is essential. Hot tub folliculitis is a specific rash caused by infection of the hair follicles of the skin with Pseudomonas, a particularly nasty bacterium. It appears most often in my experience in the areas covered by a tight-fitting bathing suit on a child who sat for a prolonged period in a hot tub.

I am able to stay in a Dry Sauna at 175 to 180 degrees for 45 min to 1 hour.  \n\nThis is longer than the recommended amount of 15 to 20 min.\n\nA lot depends on how I am feeling at the time.\nSometimes I am extremely heat tolerant and other times not.\n\nI am able to feel more comfortable if I have a quart an hour or more before going into the sauna.\nIn addition, I Drink a second quart of water if I am staying in the sauna that long.\n\nMany factors determine human tolerance to heat.  One being acclamation to heat.  How much I've been sleeping,  How much exercise.  Recent Nutrition.  Basically,  Doing what is generally good for health will increase endurance to heat and any other stress.\n\nI think it would depend on each person individually and can be different for an individual depending on other factors.\n\nThe 2 web sources I've included have a wealth of Information which I think you will find valuable.\n\nGod Bless You and Stay Cool,

Definitely not! Whirlpools and saunas are big no-no's for pregnant women! The temperature is way too high for the baby.

The American Academy of Pediatrics actually states that "until your baby starts eating solid foods, he'll get all the water he needs from breastmilk or formula."\n\nAfter they are six months old, infants do begin to need some fluoride, and so that is a good time to introduce some extra water into their diet, especially if they are breastfeeding, or simply prepare their iron fortified infant formula with fluoridated tap water.\nBut before six months, the average healthy baby doesn't need any extra water.

Both, bath and sauna help your muscles to recover from exercise smoothly by their heat. Sauna is very good after exercise as it allowes the sweat and dross to come out-then when you take a shower you are deep cleansed of waste products. Sauna has an relaxing effect and can't really see the point having one before the exercise. It is also very good to stretch whilst in sauna after exercise.

you should always boil the tap water before using, for any babies bottle not only newborns. if you are still concerned ask your doctor or health visitor for their opinion. enjoy your new baby and try not to worry too much!

A sauna is dry heat, usually there will be like lava rocks that are heated and sometimes people poor water on it, I think to cool the tempurature alittle.  But a steam room uses steam to heat the room, I personally like the steam rooms much better

Actually, the reason you aren't supposed to go in the hot tub when you are pregnant is because of the increase in body temperature that it causes.  It can be dangerous for a developing unborn baby.  It is safe to go swimming during pregnancy.

Use a moist heating pad.

Not before you go into the pool, but use a moisturiser after your shower when you get out.   Johnson's baby oil on wet skin is very good, for adults and children.\n\nChlorine is bad for your skin - just because it kills germs doesn't make it good for you - would you slather bleach on yourself?  Of course not.  Chlorine is there for a good reason but it is very drying, so yes, moisturise!  Especially your son, as children can get rashes, dry skin and itching from chlorine if their skin is sensitive.

I don't believe it is safe for a pregnant woman to take any sort of bath.  Showers are safer for many reasons.  Water temperature/ slipping/ hard to get out of tub, straining, etc.
