Or do you sit on the pool deck? If there is closed in outside waiting room, k don't see why you couldn't bring N. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-newborn-to-indoor-pool-wwyd#post-1768440 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 19:12:21 +0000 mrs. bird 1768440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would avoid it. are any of his friends going? could you get him ready and have him go with his friend &amp; have that parent watch them? most of the lit. out there on the topic are on infants who went swimming in the chlorinated pool, but i think if the class is an ongoing thing, the frequency of exposure would be enough for me to want to avoid it</p> <p>"Swimming pool attendance during infancy is associated with a higher risk of bronchiolitis, with ensuing increased risks of asthma and allergic sensitisation."<br /> <a href="http://erj.ersjournals.com/content/36/1/41.full" rel="nofollow">http://erj.ersjournals.com/content/36/1/41.full</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-newborn-to-indoor-pool-wwyd#post-1768413 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:57:17 +0000 sunny 1768413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably wouldn't just yet.</p> <p> @sandy: you need to get on IG girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-newborn-to-indoor-pool-wwyd#post-1768369 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:23:42 +0000 Dandelion 1768369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D had swimming lessons when M was 8-12 weeks. Are you sure the pool has chemicals? The indoor pool we went to was cleaned by UV light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-newborn-to-indoor-pool-wwyd#post-1768368 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:23:07 +0000 HLK208 1768368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: it's not but I think the Y has winter swim lessons in the evening. We could always wait to do that? </p> <p>I've never actually seen a baby at the pool we go to so that should probably tell me something haha. I'll probably see if my mom can take him instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-newborn-to-indoor-pool-wwyd#post-1768350 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:15:23 +0000 matador84 1768350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would t. I really wanted DS in swim lessons this summer but they make you get in the pool, which I couldn't do with a small child anyway-and didn't want to be around the chemicals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-newborn-to-indoor-pool-wwyd#post-1768332 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:08:07 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1768332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you thinking about the GH Y? I totally would do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-newborn-to-indoor-pool-wwyd#post-1768330 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:06:51 +0000 sandy 1768330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Ummm, excuse me but I totally missed that you had your baby!!!! That's what I get for not being on FB or IG! SUPER BIG CONGRATS!!! </p> <p>I would check with my pediatrician and see what he/she said </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-newborn-to-indoor-pool-wwyd#post-1768309 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:56:04 +0000 MsLipGloss 1768309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would pass, just to be safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-newborn-to-indoor-pool-wwyd#post-1768291 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:45:28 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1768291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably wouldn't, and i had my preemie out daily from the time we went home from the hospital so i wasn't one to keep him contained. The chemicals at indoor pools always make me feel sick...i would worry about the teeny lungs. I would check with your ped though. In my experience they tend to err on the side of caution and they wont say its ok if its not. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-newborn-to-indoor-pool-wwyd#post-1768288 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:44:07 +0000 googly-eyes 1768288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it'll be ok since it's well ventilated. I probably wouldn't feel up to it myself but if you do I think it's ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-newborn-to-indoor-pool-wwyd#post-1768277 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:37:52 +0000 Greentea 1768277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally I wouldn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-newborn-to-indoor-pool-wwyd#post-1768242 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:06:09 +0000 lemondrop 1768242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd never even thought about it, but we took E to C's swim lesson at less than a week old (indoor pool also). He did just fine all snuggled up in the Ergo with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-newborn-to-indoor-pool-wwyd#post-1768234 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:02:18 +0000 HLK208 1768234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to sign up DS for a swim session but N was just born this week. The last swim session of the summer starts Monday. I'm worried about taking her there and letting her breathe in chemicals. It's a new, well ventilated indoor pool though. DH goes back to work the middle of next week so I would have to take the three LO's there myself.</p> <p>WWYD? </p>
