Do you remember the first time you took your baby swimming?
I took both BB and Little B swimming for the first time when they were fairly little – BB was around 12 weeks old and Little B was 11 weeks when I was asked to write a feature on whether baby swimming lessons are worth it for Mother & Baby magazine.
But I’m ashamed to say, despite being born in water and living by the sea, it was a full four months before we managed to take Littlest B swimming for the first time.
The fact she was born in winter has a lot to do with it – it was just so chilly! – but there’s also the fact I was getting to grips with being a mum of three and time was in short supply.
So when HUGGIES® asked us to be ambassadors for their Little Swimmers® baby swimming nappies it was the perfect opportunity to introduce Littlest B to the water for the first time and make up for it.
Making memories with HUGGIES® Little Swimmers®
As luck would have it Littlest B’s first summer has been one of the hottest I can remember with a sweltering June and July, so while she didn’t experience the water as young as BB and Little B did we’ve more than made up for it now.
Here’s what we’ve been getting up to with HUGGIES® Little Swimmers® in the cutest baby swimming costume I’ve ever seen – I’d love to know what you think!
How old was your little one when you took them swimming for the first time? Do you use HUGGIES® Little Swimmers® and do you have any tips for taking babies swimming? I’d love to hear what they are!
We’re proud to be working with HUGGIES® as Little Swimmers® ambassadors. For more information, advice and top tips on taking your little one swimming visit www.littleswimmers.co.uk
These look really great. I haven’t taken my eight month old swimming yet, I really must try to do it soon! I have fond memories of swimming as a child and I really want my kids to enjoy it too X #twinklytuesday
With Zach we didn’t take him until he was 10 months when we were holiday! Oscar went way earlier at about 6 months. He adores being in the water! Thanks for linking up with #TwinklyTuesday
Love little swimmers. I used to take Leo swimming as a baby almost every week but it’s been more difficult with Alex as our local pool only allows one child per adult so we’ve not been able to go unless it’s the weekend. Xx #postsfromthehearr
