As for LO's eczema, yeah, I'm still trying to figure this one out. Thanks for your insight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-swimming-diapers-what#post-37892 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:20:47 +0000 BoogieBea 37892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has taken 3 sessions of swimming thus far. Each class is only half hour long so the chances of him pooping in the pool is pretty slim. He has, however, peed on me while carrying him to the pool right after changing him into the swim diaper. That was not pleasant. My son never had eczema but still had reactions to the chlorine from time to time. His skin would get blotchy but usually goes away by the next day. Have fun with the class! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-swimming-diapers-what#post-37815 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 23:06:37 +0000 mrstilly 37815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cloth diaper, so I have just used a pocket diaper without an insert. It has a stay dry fabric inside, but doesn't absorb water. I haven't seen a "swim diaper" in person, but I wouldn't use a regular cover because I don't like the waterproof PUL against DS's skin. Also, I use one size diapers, so I like that I can adjust them as DS grows. I know some moms in my moms group were complaining about sizing of swim diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-swimming-diapers-what#post-37757 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 22:15:25 +0000 Rosie Girl 37757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, they are kind of gross! Don't hold much.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-swimming-diapers-what#post-37752 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 22:13:31 +0000 MH.Abroad 37752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of them have mesh on the inside, and then a water proof cover, with elastic at the top. It just catches poop. Or tries. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-swimming-diapers-what#post-37554 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:55:25 +0000 chopsuey 37554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think huggies sells swim diapers? Saw them on amazon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-swimming-diapers-what#post-37530 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:43:14 +0000 Andrea 37530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Her eczema only got bad recently, maybe because of the extreme cold now. During the summer her eczema was still ok. I don't have a pool membership or anything so she has only been in the pool 3 times but she didn't break out after any of the times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-swimming-diapers-what#post-37527 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:41:17 +0000 Andrea 37527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Oh no, don't be sad! Have fun at swim class, very exciting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-swimming-diapers-what#post-37525 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:41:05 +0000 Boogs 37525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's all it is! To me it looks like a little speedo with a little extra padding. Our LO is starting swim lessons next month, too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-swimming-diapers-what#post-37524 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:40:23 +0000 Rubies 37524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Did you take your LO swimming? How did you manage eczema and chlorine together? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-swimming-diapers-what#post-37520 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:39:38 +0000 Rubies 37520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: OMG...I just pictured LO being sucked to the bottom of the pool. SAD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-swimming-diapers-what#post-37502 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:33:57 +0000 Andrea 37502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, it's only for poop, not pee. A regular diaper would absorb all the pool water and drag the kids down into the water. Not good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-swimming-diapers-what#post-37500 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:33:32 +0000 Rubies 37500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>See, I can't even picture how this thing works. If LO poops, I picture the poo just coming out from the back...</p> <p>Oh well. Okay, I'll buy it and figure it out. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-swimming-diapers-what#post-37494 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:29:36 +0000 Mrs. Bee 37494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup that's what they look like. they don't hold in pee since it would just soak up the pool water. they're just supposed to catch poop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-swimming-diapers-what#post-37493 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:28:45 +0000 Rubies 37493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I signed the LO and I up for a parent/baby swimming class starting in January and LO will be 5.5 months old.</p> <p>What kind of diaper do I use in the pool? I've seen something called a "swimming diaper" but it looks just like a cloth diaper cover. There has to be more to it, right? </p>
