Swimming with newborn

Has anyone taken their baby swimming so young? My little girl will be 7 weeks on Sunday and I want to take her swimming! I’ve bought her a 0-3 month swimming costume which fits her perfectly, but I’m just wondering if I also need to put her in some of those little swimmer nappy things? Thank you :)

You'll definitely need a swimmer nappy 😂 not sure the pool would be too pleased if you didn't.

I'm waiting until after the 8 week jabs, but yes you'll need swimming nappies. Baby swim classes usually take from 12 weeks I think, maybe check if your pool has any age limits.

We have our girl starting swimming lessons on 8th October she’ll be 6 weeks old then. Our local swimming company can take them from birth as they pool they use is a hydrotherapy one. I’d check with your local pool on what age they are allowed to go from as it will vary depending on the type of pool. Also they require a nappy to be worn then with one of the neoprene swim nappies/swim suits on top of that

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️

Vitamins

Little one is now 6 months old and the Health Visitor recommended that we start giving her some vitamins. Anyone got any recommendations of good brands/where to buy these? Thanks ☺️
