Taking a baby to the swimming pool is scary and funny – having a partner helps!
Taking the baby in the pool is both scary and funny.
Baby Anneliese is having a blast with Erin
Buy a package of disposable swim diapers or a reusable one, and plan your outing. This is our 27th rookie mom challenge.
If you are alone, think carefully through the logistics of how you are going to change your clothes, change baby, get in the pool, get out of the pool, get on dry stuff and get back in the car. You are not as smart as you used to be and you will probably mess up part of this process and end up walking out to your car in just a bra and towel holding your baby in one arm and a diaper between your teeth. Let me just help you out: Take your stroller with you into the dressing room. That way you have someplace to put the baby, towels, wet bathing suits and diaper bag while you get dry yourself.
This is also a fun activity with a very pregnant friend.
Do you plan to take your baby into the pool this summer? Have you done it already?
