What's your take on naked babies on the beach? I always thought it was normal, but my friend recently took her 11 month old to the beach naked and got a bunch of comments about it. What do you think?
-
Not a fan
-
I personally wouldn't.
-
Swim diaper naked or naked naked?
-
Just a diaper? Yes. Naked? No.
-
I wouldn't do it, personally. I don't know that I would judge another mom for doing it though. I, personally, just worry about creepers staring...
-
Nay. Littles need help keeping as much sand as possible out, and something needs to contain pee and such. And really, your child deserves the opportunity to maintain his/her bodily integrity.
-
No. I don't see the need to keep a baby totally naked.
We were at a beach recently and there was a totally butt naked little boy running around - he must have been like 5 or 6. I was surprised his parents didn't mind one bit
-
Nope. I think its a bit rude if LOs are peeing/pooping everywhere. They can't help it, so diapers are a must IMHO.
-
Nope! Diaper at a minimum.
-
I wouldn't - too much sun exposure and it's unhygienic unless the child is toilet trained. Now if it was just being naked whilst changing to/from swim clothes, that's not an issue, but running around naked, yeah, I'm not a fan.
-
Definitely need a diaper at a minimum!
-
No. I think the sand would be uncomfortable.
-
Must have a diaper on, I'm not a fan of completely naked babies, I feel bad for them.
-
I've never seen a naked baby at the beach.
-
Don't care much. But the sun is hot...
-
Nay.
Sun exposure, sand in uncomfortable places, nothing to catch pee/poop...
-
No. Babes need to wear diapers at least in public.
-
I've never seen a naked baby at the beach, either. I would keep a diaper on for pee/poop.
-
The nakedness wouldn't bother me at all, but I wouldn't do it just because of the additional sun exposure.
-
It wouldn't bug me, and I'm sure I'd let LO do it. But I'd be a little worried about sand in crevices. Though I doubt a diaper would prevent that.
-
The sun is my only concern. Other than that I'm totally yay.
-
I kinda thought it was normal...
-
I vote nay only because of the sand-in-sensitive-bits issue, not from a modesty issue.
-
Whaaaaaaat? Totally a 'yay' for me. I love swimming nekkie, seems pretty normal for an under-5-year-old to do...
-
Diaper at a minimum. Buuuuut, if it was a baby-baby (like, 3-8 months old), under a shaded area with his/her parents, then I think it's cute. Baby skin needs to breathe, right?? But babies/kids running/crawling around in the sand naked bugs me a little.
-
Nope. Gotta protect their skin.
-
In a diaper yay, nothing no!
-
I don't want sand in my vajayjay and I don't want baby girl to have sand in hers either, so nay. I don't think its bad, just seems not well thought out I guess. Plus I try not to over expose others to my kids bowel movements and such so no diaper is a no no for me.
-
Nay. Issue 1 = skin protection. Issue 2= sand in the vag. I was really sensitive down there as a toddler (couldn't even take bubble baths) so sand down there would've been no bueno.
-
I would worry about sun exposure and sand but in general i have no issue with it.
-
Under a year, I would worry about that precious skin!
-
I don't see a problem in terms of modesty if that's what the comments were about - but I do think it isn't ideal for skin protection.
-
Nope, stick a diaper on. No one needs to stand in baby poop. I also think a rash guard is needed for sun protection personally.
-
totally a yay. i lived in miami beach for a long time and it was very typical for littles to be in the buff at the beach. Of course, south beach was very european. I think Americans are a little uptight about nudity.
I wouldn't worry so much about sand in the "crevices", as my 2 yr old somehow manages to fill her swimsuit with sand when we are at the beach anyhow.
-
I wouldn't want to step in baby poop but I think some of you might be under some major illusions when it comes to the cleanliness of sand!
-
Seems normal in my neighborhood! We just made sure to bathe LO as soon as we got home.
-
i wouldn't care if i saw another kiddo like that (voted yay) and i've changed my DD while at the beach, but +1 for more skin protection and +2 for sand in the crotch protection!
-
Nay! sun exposure on Skin! And just like you shouldn't let your dog pee and poop everywhere you shouldn't let your baby either. I think that's just common courtesy.
-
There's too many unknowns at the beach (pedophiles and such) I wouldn't let LO run around naked
