When should invite baby swimming?

Although for 9 months old baby is always swimming in amniotic fluid, do not rush him play in the pool water. Wait until he was more than two months.

"For infants aged less than two months, the concern is immune because they are susceptible to the disease. We recommend that parents do not bring their babies into the pool too quickly," says Howard Reinstein, a pediatrician and spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Swimming pools can easily be contaminated with bacteria that are very harmful to the baby. In addition, a new baby's body also can regulate its body temperature at about 6-12 weeks of age. "If the pool water was a little chilly for you, then the baby can be very cold it was," said Reinstein.

The best time to introduce baby to the sports pool is when the head was upright enough. Make sure the baby is in good health. Several studies have shown chlorine in pool water can exacerbate childhood asthma.

Should select a pool that is not too crowded and the water is not too cold. In addition to the water, the baby is also easily affected by cold winds in the open air. When children begin to look cold or uncomfortable, immediately remove from the pool.
