[happy-chick]

Hey got some questions as we're planning on taking ellie swimming on saturday

1/ Do they do the swimming nappies for size1?

2/ Does ellie need to wear a swimming costume?

3/ Would you recommend getting one of those swimming rings for babies?

4/ Is it really hard work getting ready etc after? Should I take the carseat in for her to sit in while im gettin ready?

5/ How long should we stay in - She'll be 6weeks on sat?

Thank uuuuuu!

1/ Do they do the swimming nappies for size1? yes

2/ Does ellie need to wear a swimming costume? yes

3/ Would you recommend getting one of those swimming rings for babies? no id hold her, make her secure in the water

4/ Is it really hard work getting ready etc after? Should I take the carseat in for her to sit in while im gettin ready? yes I would, but if you go in family changing rooms they usually have something to change your baby on.Carseat sounds better though

5/ How long should we stay in - She'll be 6weeks on sat? id say half hour if she lasts that long, it can be a shock that will result in screaming if shes startled by it all.

1/ Do they do the swimming nappies for size1? Yes I use Huggies little swimmers.

2/ Does ellie need to wear a swimming costume? Yes or you can get a baby snug Not only is this safer in case she has a little accident inside her nappy but it will also keep her warmer if your going to a normal pool.

3/ Would you recommend getting one of those swimming rings for babies? I've never used one, I like holding Jack and splashing about.

4/ Is it really hard work getting ready etc after? Should I take the carseat in for her to sit in while im gettin ready? Depends what the changing room is like but I think its a good idea to take th car seat so your not worrying about her whilst you get yourself ready.

5/ How long should we stay in - She'll be 6weeks on sat? Depends on the temparature of the pool, normal pools are around 28 degrees so that would give you approx 15 minutes in the pool, if you get a baby snug then you can usually stay on for around 25 minutes.

Hope you have a good time, I love taking Jack swimming. We go to water babies and I would definately recommend them.

swimming nappys are expensive the disposable ones.. i would get a washable one.. they are about 5 quid.. same price as a pack of swimmers and they last her for ages

I couldn't find swimming trunks small enough as they all go from 3months + and Finn wasn't that old when we first started swimming - his trunks are still too big though. We went for the Bambino Mio swim nappy (not disposible).
These were the ones I got in a hurry



and the ones he wears now - had to try them out didn't we

Hi happy_chick,

Lots of us have had this problem - I remember asking this question myself as we first took DD swimming at 5 1/2 weeks. I used swim nappies size 1 Huggies when DD was about 11/12lbs and they were big, but they fitted round her (and more importantly held everything in!) perfectly. That's the smallest swim nappy Huggies do.
