Question

Babies + swimming?


Caitlyns jabs are on the 14th August. From what I believe, she can go swimming after that, right? What about chlorine, if it gets in her eyes and mouth?

You don't need to wait til she's had her jabs- its a myth. If she's in a float they tend not to get it in there eyes although i'm sure it wouldn't cause a problem. Have fun!! x x

They told me the other day that they can go any time? And its best to take them before 4 months because thats when they loose their natural swimming reflex and have to re learn it or something. We're going to take Seth soon because he seems to love the water

Have fun

They can go at any time, just be careful with the sun. Josh didn't really like it, but I guess the more you try the more they get used to it. xxx

I swim with Keira once a week. I havent fully immersed her head, but she loves kicking around. We also have a salt water pool, so Im more comfortable with going more often vs a chlorine pool, as it is much gentler for the skin

Its the reflex where they hold their breath, I took Noah swimming from about 3/4 months, he loved it. He loved going under the water and having the water splashed in his face. They can forget how to use the reflex so its best to keep going. It also comes in handy at bath time as he doesn't cry when water goes in his eyes!!
