have fun! I would say hold him tight as you go into the water so he knows he is safe. Dont stay in there any longer than 15 minutes. Maybe take some bathtime toys that he knows with you.
i would say to bring the towel to the pool side so when it comes time to get out he isnt freezing by the time you get him to the changing rooms as they get cold so quickly. Have fun! xxxx
Might sound obvious, but put your own costume on before you leave. I didn't, and it was such a faff getting both of us dressed! Agree with holding him close, the warm water is freezing!
Lol no2bump I always take towels poolside anyway...so j can cover by fat bum as soon as I get out pool lol..less chance of people seeing my cellulite thunder thighs xx
HAHA PB! i bet your thunder thighs arnt too bad, im so big i wont go to the pool incase the lifeguard calls in greenpeace to remove the beached whale! LOL
If not my tip would be to remove wetsuit when you get out and then wrap LO in a dry towel and put on a changing mat on the floor. They will be safe and warm while you get changed and when it comes to dressing them they will be nice and dry and you won't be dripping all over them.
Also be prepared to feed as soon as you are both dressed! Babies tend to use loads of energy when they are that little and will be starving, also a snack for you if you are breastfeeding! xxx
