Babies in paddling pools?


I know you can't take them swimming in chlorine filled water untill they've had their injections but what about in the garden in a paddling pool? The water is the same as the bath so surely that's alright? Or is it not? Just wondering, with it being so nice lately and her coming soon if I should bother getting a paddling pool to play in..

More for me than her but it'd be nice if she could come in too.

It's not true that you can't take them swimming till they've had their jabs. The chlorine kills all the bugs.

Hun, I have to remind you that going in the paddling pool does not count as your annual bath.

Same for you Wobbles :P

I think you can check with your local pool, some say yay and others nay, shame theres no national guideline (?)

I would say go for it about the pool, loads of suncream, in the shade, preferably not during peak sunlight times of 12-3
I would imagine the water will be very soothing if its hot!
