Question about baby swimwear

You can get disposable swim nappies, but I'd go for the neoprene ones like the 'Splashabout Happy Nappy' (you will find them if you Google).


They have a ribbed cuff that contains any accidents (unlike other swim nappies) and many pools are starting to insist on them. If baby does poo in it, which is fairly rare in my experience you just take it off, tip / flush nappy off in the loo & then wash it. Really not a hassle.


If you think about it the very nature of disposables makes the swim ones pretty useless as if they had all the absorbent gels etc in them they would swell up & explode within about 2 minutes LOL. So, the ones they make dont really contain anything & it's flipping annoying when a pool gets closed for the day because a child has leaked into it.


I'd also highly recommend a baby wetsuit - it looks like a one piece swimsuit and velcros on - opens up, put on like a coat then velcros across body, over shoulders & between the legs. In a cooler pool it keeps the baby warm & happy & extends the time you can stay in with them considerably. If you only plan to go to Pecham Pulse baby pool you don't need it, but in other pools (even in Spain) I found ours invaluable, and the same one fitted over 2 summers so it was good value.


Hope this helps.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.

      MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.

      The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
