^hi sis caprice! San mo nabili disposable swim diapers? Tia!

sis justineo, kay babytopia.ph sa FB. pero sa pagkakaalam ko, last pack na yung nabili kong Huggies Little Swimmers. pero may iba pa namang sellers sa FB and sulit/ebay. pm kita. aside from Huggies, meron rin daw Clifford swim pants. ok rin naman daw, parang Huggies rin.

My baby first went for a swim in the condo's community pool when we lived in SG at 5 months. Hindi naman sinipon. Virus naman ang colds and hindi nakukuha sa pag-swimming.Get HUggies Little Swimmers, a floatie with leg holes ( I bought mine from Mothercare) and a sunscreen that's ok to use for your child's age.I bought the organic one from Mothercare (safe to use for less than 12 months old)-if your baby is older you can use something that says safe to use for __ (your child's age).A wide brim hat would be good too although I don't advise swimming from 11-2Pm kasi napakainit nun.Try it before 10 AM or sa hapon,after 3PM. If you outfit your baby with a swim suit,it's ok but really, they'll be fine without provided wag sa pinakamainit na oras ng araw kayo mag-swimming. If it's at the beach I recommend a rashguard (yung parang tshirt ang top) lalo pag may sand play involved.Most rashguards have (or at least look for) UVA/B 50.Keep them hydrated,bring along a lot of water/juice and you'll be fine,enjoy

It's up to you. Kung sa dagat naman kayo swimming,pwede doon kasi nawa-wash out lagi ang water.It's like a grown up peeing in the pool if you let your baby swim sans swimming diapers.It's not hygienic for other people.Lalo pag nag-number 2 .I've used the Huggies Swimmer both on pool/beach for my little one.Hindi bumubukol agad ang swim diapers unless it's the baby's pee.

contented - ako kasi, the reason why i used yung plastic diaper eh para magsalo ng poop. medyo unpredictable kasi yung pooping time ni baby. ayun nga. nung nagswimming kami, nagpoop sya. good thing hindi sya nakalublob noon sa water when that happened.

m_lim - i guess 3 months (tama ba?) is too early for baby swimming. di bale, when the time comes na pwede na sya magswim, she'll be safer kasi sarili nyo yung pool. less contamination of water.

may nakasabay kaming nag-swim last Saturday, naka-EQ Dry yung bata. lumobo. as for Huggies Little Swimmers, no swelling nga talaga.

as mentioned by the mommies here, aside from hygienic purposes, courtesy na rin sa ibang swimmers. pag nagpoop si baby sa water at walang diaper, maka-cut short ang pag-swim ng lahat. i'm sure mapapagalitan rin kami ng admin. ayoko rin ihassle sarili ko kasi kung wala nga sa water effort maglinis ng poop.

Swim diaper lang, di ko naman sha nilagyan ng baby oil. Sunblock lang. Di naman sha nagkasakit.

[sistah!]

my baby was about 7 months when we first took her swimming during a hotel stay. hindi naman sinipon pero super sandali lang din sya sa pool. as in dip, dip, photo op, then back to the room na.

we took her again to swim during the holy week. medyo mas matagal na sya sa water pero di ko nilagay yung head sa ilalim ng water.

both times she wore a swimsuit (pool lang naman kami) and sunblock for babies.

[caprice]

sunblock nga rin lang pala nilagay ko. actually, after 30 mins ko na nalagyan kasi si hubby excited dalhin son namin sa pool kaya nakalimutan namin. medyo mahangin & makulimlim nun pero hindi naman nagkasakit anak ko. mga 1 hour sya sa water.

[contented]

hindi ako naka buy ng swim diaper... 8 mos baby ko twice na nakapag swimming una sa beach then sa swimming pool super enjoy siya halos 1 hr siya naglalaro sa tubig buti hindi nag poop kasi tinanggal ko din yung diaper.. hehe!

[tamarind26]

Anong gamit niyong sunblock for baby mga sis? Pedia allows my 3 month old baby to go swimming na sa beach. Have to prepare for baby's vacay in Bohol next week.

[m_lim]

nakikita niyo ba yung neck salbabida? safe ba yon? pano yun, hindi ba nasasakal ang baby?

[nikki]

^^sis, I bought aveeno baby but I plan to visit my baby's pedia derma before our bora trip and hopefully I-approve Nya yun binili Ko. My baby has skin asthma kasi.

^sis, I saw that sa Rustan's. I'm not comfortable na ipagamit Kay baby.
