Summer is near! When should I take my baby for a swim?


Now that summer is near, the most popular question is when can we take our baby for a swim.


Some say that you can take him as soon as he is 6 weeks old.
As a mother, I advise you to wait until after 1 year, then he will have a stronger immunity and would have had most of his shots.

Usually, our pediatrician, and she is more like a mother to me, allows herself to give me some personal advice. And one of those advice is to try to wait till after 1 year old, meanwhile she suggested we get a small inflatable pool where our kids could swim in the shade, in a clean water free of chemicals and germs.

Whatever your decision is, please always look after your kids when they are swimming never leave them unattended; let them wear a life jacket, put a high protection sunscreen and a hat!

Have a great Summer!!!
