Question

Hello, Under what conditions can a baby or child up to 3 years old be bathed on Shabbat? I understand that in great need, hot water can be opened with a change. What is considered a great need? For example, if a child is very dirty from feces, is that considered a great need?

Answer

Hello 

Indeed, it is permitted in the case of great need for a small child. 

Therefore, if the child is very dirty, it is permitted.
