It was great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-swimming-pools#post-178093 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 10:58:01 +0000 HLK208 178093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went in the pool with him at 4 months but even that felt a little early. We'll wait until 6 months with DD but that'll be in December so...probably more like next summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-swimming-pools#post-178036 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 10:38:33 +0000 His Barista 178036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is 3 months.

Sawyer LOVES bath and shower time, and would love to take him to a pool this summer, in the fall we are going to do Mom and Baby fit swimming classes once per week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-swimming-pools#post-177119 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 20:00:06 +0000 autumnlove 177119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took LO to our friend's pool when she was 4 months old. She loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-swimming-pools#post-177115 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:56:38 +0000 skibobrown 177115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to ask DD's pediatrician about this next week. We have a pool where we live now, but we'll be moving when the baby is 4 months old. I'd love to be able to bring her in the pool once or twice before we move! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-swimming-pools#post-177062 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 17:13:37 +0000 heffalump 177062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor said no public pools until 6 months, but we swam in my mom's pool before that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-swimming-pools#post-177054 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 16:26:07 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 177054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always been told 4 month for the pool, but don't dunk them under before 6 months. Higher risk of ear infections before that, and no one wants a baby with an ear infection! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-swimming-pools#post-177047 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 16:13:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 177047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had read that chlorine can be dangerous for infants under 6 months, so when I take LO swimming this summer it will be a lake or my nanny family's non-chlorinated pool (I think they're doing salt water) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-swimming-pools#post-177044 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 15:57:56 +0000 Honeybee 177044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD didn' go in the pool until 20 months, but her first time in the lake was at 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-swimming-pools#post-177037 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 15:38:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 177037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited til 6 months, but only because we didn't have access to a pool before then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-swimming-pools#post-177035 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 15:02:37 +0000 lemondrop 177035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started swim lessons at 8 weeks- so much fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-swimming-pools#post-177032 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 14:54:56 +0000 deannab1 177032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At what age did you/can you take your infant in a swimming pool? </p>
