The steam isn't going to do anything to the baby. You do have to be careful about baths that are too warm though, anything that raises your body temperature too high can be dangerous. Hot tubs and saunas are out but a warm bath is fine as long as it's not too hot  :)

Warm baths are fine.  It's just like steaming hot like a hot tub that's bad.
