Ditto Splashabout happy nappy - if you take your daughter to a hydrotherapy pool (e.g. Peckham Pulse) then you don't need a wetsuit (expensive and can restrict movement) as it's warm; I don't even bother with a swimming costume for my girl.


Once you and your daughter are happy in the water then a wetsuit maybe useful so you can use the cooler main pool, too.


Have fun!

I think it would depend on your baby's rate of growth!! I only say that because I bought a happy nappy but only got to use it twice as she grew out of it so it was a bit of a waste of money for me but she is a big girl so grew out of the medium size easily! I now put her in a Huggies disposable swim nappy and sometimes a swimming costume, the nappy is fine on its own.


I was selling my splash about happy nappy a little while ago but it went unsold, I would happily lend it to you to try it out to see if it works for you! it is size medium and has a liner as well. Let me know.

Jennyh makes a good point. If you are taking your daughter for swimming lessons then check with the course organiser about the requirements. Otherwise, check with the pool you are going to. We started with lessons, hence we have used happy nappies (with Huggies little swimmers underneath) from the outset. They are meant to be a very snug fit to prevent leaks into the pool and my daughter has used the same one from 3 months to 6 months.


I would still recommend taking your baby to a hydrotherapy pool esp as she is only 3 months and, I assume, it's her first swimming experience. If you do that then you won't need a wetsuit.

I've got my daughters first happy nappy which I am banned from using for my son on account of it being more feminine colours! Hmmm


I put it on here a few weeks ago and still have it, was asking ?3 if your interested.


I always used a disposable nappy underneath, although we never had any incidences with this nappy, we did with a later larger one and I am happy to confirm the system works and the happy nappy remained unsoiled!


I'm after an extra large happy nappy if anyone wants to get rid of one......

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
