summer time help??

My first son is due in April. I want to take him in our pool like July-ish. When have you guts taken the baby in the pool for the first time? Being comfortable in the water is big for me and my boyfriend. We spend alt off time in our pool and also on local lakes.

My daughter was a little over 2 months the first time we took her. We were at a hotel with heated pool and nobody else there. She loved it. This past summer, she taught herself to swim under water (at 4)

My son was born in march and in the pool by june, myself and all my siblings were summers babies and all went in at a few weeks old. its reall your preference and just use common sense i mean if the water is ice cold obviously dont put the baby in, and so on....and i would recomend putting a hat on them and sunscreen and limit the time out in the sun/heat

Yeah I kind of dont think it's a good idea neither especially at just four months, water is extremely cold to us imagine them, and there so little the risk of getting sick is fairly high, I agree with jtreeves at least 10 months at the lowest so they'll be able to actually show u a reaction, ill be having my son April 29 and dont plan to take him until 10 months n up in any type of water besides baths of course.

My first child was born match24th 2010, she was 7Weeks premature, she came home in may from the NICU and I still took her in the pool in August once I was positive she was healthy. I think you will be fine to walk around in the pool with him, my son will be here in April too and I plan on taking him swimming, he won't be bug enough to sit alone in a baby sitting thing in the pool but with you carrying him he will be fine as long as the water is warm enough and he is healthy
