Would you take baby swimming with a cold?
I'm not sure if it will make it worse?
S is quite congested but well in himself and no temp. He's due to have a swimming lesson tomorrow, his third of eleven but he missed the first two due to holiday and then eczema break out so if we aren't going tomorrow I think I'm better off seeing if I can transfer on to the next term in December as I feel like he will have missed too much. Though I don't know how much babies learn at swimming lessons anyway so if he'd be ok to miss another week?!
thanks.

I never take either of mine if they have a cold. It does seem to make it worse or take longer to get over it. It won't hurt to miss another week, he will catch up.
I probably wouldn't. I just think 'would I want to go swimming if I had a cold?' Probably not. I wouldn't worry about missing much - I have A signed up for a run of 10 classes amd we've missed a couple due to holidays etc, but we've not missed anything vital. We tend to do the same stuff each week, just making it a bit more challenging for them each week (dunking them more, making them spend longer on their back/front). I wouldn't blame you for switching to the next term though in terms of getting your money's worth
Thanks both. You're right and it didn't sit comfortably the thought of stripping him down and dunking him in cold water!
I have mum and baby friends doing the lessons so it would be nice to still go to them - they have also just said we haven't missed much, though perhaps money wise I could be wiser to transfer if they'll let me. Thanks, will have a ponder!
