km taking my 3 month old next week wondring how ay one else is getting on??

Hi
I've been taking Noah to water babies since he was 6 weeks old. He seems to enjoy it, only lasts for half hour, but i think the room is too hot, so he does start crying after a while. One week he fell asleep in the pool, i had to just continue with him fast asleep. I took him to the normal swimming pool the other day, he looked so cute in his little wet suit. He was fantastic, never cried once, this pool is cooler, so i think he preferred it.
Claire and Noah 10 weeks x

I am going to take Abby soon, but keep coming up with excuses and reasons why I should put it off. I am such a wuss!

She always cries so much when she gets out the bath, don't want her to cry like that in public!

we took pippa to the pool on tuesday and she didn't cry or scream (but she loves her baths) and kicked about quite happily, we only kept her in for 25 mins and she slept like a log afterwards for three hours, she never sleeps that long. Pippa doesn't like getting hot so think we'll stick with taking her to our local pool

I took izzy when she was 9 wks and even allowed her to swim under water! I was petrified but she seemed to enjoy it so am taking her again this weekend.

Hi, I want to take Jason swimming. What do your LO's wear swimming? Baby wetsuit? Where did you buy it? Thanks x x x

We took Ethan swimming for the first time on Wednesday and he loved it too; he also really enjoys his baths though so it was no surprise. We put him in a disposable swim nappy (although we do have a reusable one too) and that was it - we also took an inflatable swim seat for him to float around in and he just chilled in it, kicking his legs every now and then! He also slept really well after - I was so impressed we are definately going to make it a regular thing!

Hi i was advised by the swimming instructor at water babies that when swimming in normal swimming pools the baby should have a wet suit and disposable nappy on and limit the swimming to 15 minutes. I got Noah a wet suit from mother care for £19.99, but seen the exact same one from ebay just £9, so took the other one back. The pool i take Noah in with waterbabies is extra warm so he doesn't need the wet suit in there.

does anyone know how warm the water is suposed to be?

I would like to take my lo 2 but I don/t know the temperature that should be in the pool. Do you know any pools in birmingham who do mums and babies only and at the right temperature? Also what shall I put on my lo?

the water temp is meant to be 30 degrees

see waterbabies.co.uk - good info

i went to mothercare and got a swim nappy and some arm bands.

they had completely run out if this really cute wet suit thing with floats all they way round the waist. even their warehouse had run out so i couldnt even order it!!!

i've been taking jacob swimming since he was 8 weeks - he loves it! we just go to our local pool, but use the learner pool as it's warmer than the main pool. he just wears a huggies swim nappy, and lasts 15-25mins before he starts getting a bit chilly. might have to look into a wetsuit!

Took Jasmine yest she seemed to enjoy it.She had huggies swim nappy and swimming costume, also started to get cold after 20 mins ish so we took herout, she really seemed to enjoy it, successful 1st visit!

I take Oliver to Aquanauts its really good he has been going since he was 6 wks old they teach the babies all about water safety, There is a web site that you can go on and buy swim nappies which are reuseable and its a one size fit all they also do a suit which keeps them warm when swimming you can buy these from konfidence.
