Newborn swimming
Next week my baby will be 3.5 weeks old, it says online you can take them at any age even if only a couple weeks old. I really want to get him used to the water while my partner is off as he goes back to work the following week!
Does anyone know where I can get a baby swimsuit in newborn size? Everything is 0-3 months so struggling to find and my baby is only tiny 😂😂😂

I would only take them if it's a private pool, public pools are beyond revolting and full of all sorts, theyre also often not warm enough for a newborn (absolutely minimum 30*).. I personally wouldn't recommend taking such a little babe, they're still so delicate and it's not worth the risk of bugs, chemicals etc
I also contacted our local Water Babies provider about newborn swimming and as it is a hydro pool, they said we can start whenever we like and said "the sooner the better". The only thing for me is the impact of chlorine on their skin. So I've bought a full swimsuit and will probably wait until he's 6 weeks old.
Make sure you go somewhere where the water is super warm, baby prob won’t last v long - maybe 20 mins. I’d prob wait a little longer till they are a bit bigger tbf or at least till they’ve had their injections. The water in swimming pools can be minging!
