Baby Swimming?

[ELT]

:Butbut

I am not overally excited about letting an infant swim. It takes a little as a couple inches of water to drown an infant EVEN in a bathtub. Even if she is watched, I don't feel comfortable about the neck ring -- very worried that she could hurt her neck / back in a position like that! Can't you wait until she is strong enough to sit with some support?

Ya! That's exactly I concerned before using this neck ring for my daugher (just 1 month only by that time). So my husband and I consulted with our doctor. He agreed & recommended this kind of exercises for infant as long as a perfect envoirnment is provided. My friend in Taiwan told me that it is quite popular in their place. They told me that it's not a matter of concern. The ring material is tailor-made and perfect suit for a delicate baby wearing. It's really good for development of a baby, I highly recommended this to others!

I would also not want to trust to that neck ring. Call me a "nervous nellie".

Like kashimum, I liked to take the baby in the bath w/ me and hold him or her - more chance for skin on skin time

Later, when I took them into the swimming pool, they were used to being in the water w/ mama and they never were afraid or unhappy swimming.

the one i use for my 4 mth old is zoggs trainer seat which you can start at 3mths and has a support seat http://www.gb-sports.co.uk/childrens_swimming_aids.html
he loves being able to kick in the seat and use his arms to feel the water
