what to put on 12 week old to go swimming????

you can buy non disposable nappies as well. I have a mother ease swimming nappy for ds and it fits his long skinny body really well. maybe try one of those. a normal nappy will become saturated and very very heavy pretty quick so probably not hte most comfortable.

I wouldn't put just a normal nappy on. It'll blow up lol. Being full of liquid and all..

You can get cloth swim nappies. They are reusable. Google Mother-Ease swimming nappy. Their size small goes from 4.5kg.

nah a normal nappy wont work. As Grub said, they just get very very full and heavy and will proably just fall off and wont do much for holding in poo lol. Also as Grub said, you can buy cloth ones. I got DD's first one from Kmart for about $5 (though that was 2 years go) and it was size 000. You can get very little bathers, you just have to look around. Even try Ebay. A singlet and boardies would do ofcourse, I just dont know how happy she will be being in a wet singlet (just speaking from personal experience).

lol, I took my DD swimming at 5 weeks in a normal huggies nappy. It did swell up but it was fine and she pooed while wearing it but it didn't leak in the water at all.
Other girls in my BB group have done the same and it was fine.

DD was too small for any of the swimming nappies and we didn't have time to wait for a non sposie one to be posted to us, but now I would prob buy her one cause we don't use huggies anymore and I can't see her new nappies holding poo if we went swimming...

Crumpet, reusable swim pants are a fabulous idea. I have a pair here that were used for Ds3 back when he was a newbie. Theyll fit under 7kgs. PM your address and I'll pop them in the post for you. Its just sitting in his wardrobe going to waste

Just a FYI regarding the disp swim nappies. My school has a reusable swim nappy only policy. Its because those disp nappies leak small fibres into the water once they are soaked and it clogs up pool filters and can even be breathed into lungs. Very dangerous.

I totally understand the pain in the butt of having to buy several different sizes of reusable swim nappies only to have them use them for a few months then grow up a size, so its my pleasure to pass on my pair to you crumpet, no thanks or anything needed
