It's dangerous, the inner temp gets just as hot as outer.

If it's too hot, your baby's internal temp will be too hot. They have no way of cooling down.

If you bath in hot water it can over heat your body which is not good for your baby . But taking a bath an warm water is more acceptable .

I like steaming hot baths as well. For the sake of baby and me(your more likely to get overheated) i have turned the heat down just a tad. Rule of thumb is, if you cant submurge your body right away than its too hot.

A bath is not harmful for your little baby girl. It actually relaxes all your muscles,  enjoy !
