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......

      This may be somewhat out of date but virtually no environmental benefit & almost entirely grass... really? https://www.gigl.org.uk/sinc/sobi09/ Description Peckham Rye was established as an open space in the late 19th century and includes several valuable habitat features spread across the park. The park is a Grade II Listed landscape, and has recently been restored with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A small community garden within the site is managed by the Friends of Peckham Rye. Peckham Rye Park won a Green Flag Award again for 2022. The site is used by the Southwark Health Walks project as part of a Walking the Way to Health (WHI) scheme. Wildlife This large park has several valuable habitat features. The most important of these is the only remaining above-ground section of the River Peck and the most natural stream in the borough. The stream is heavily shaded by native, unmanaged wet woodland dominated by alder, ash and pedunculated oak with a ground cover of pendulous sedge and bramble. Alder dominated woodland is a rare habitat in Southwark. Although somewhat altered with weirs, other artificial structures and ornamental planting, some sections are still in their natural banks and includes yellow flag, watercress, water figwort and cuckooflower. The largest of three ponds supports marginal vegetation including hemp agrimony. A variety of waterfowl nest on the wooded island, including tufted duck, coot, Canada goose and mallard. Substantial flocks of gulls visit the park in winter and bats are likely to forage over the water. Small blocks of predominantly native woodland, mostly on the boundary between the Park and the Common, are dominated by oak and ash with a well-developed understory, but sparse ground flora. Spring bulbs have been planted in previous years. These and several dense shrubberies support a good bird population and small numbers of pipistrelle bats are present. Infrequently mown grassland is located in one large area and was seeded in 2009. It's composition includes giant fescue, ladies bedstraw, meadowsweet, black knapweed and wild carrot. The rest of the park consists of amenity grassland with some fine mature trees.

      Same here. Incredibly selfish behaviour. Also illegal.

      I heard them & our two dogs were extremely upset by it..  bad enough during the evenings but at least can have music on to dilute the noise!   Some people have literally zero thoughts for others!!

      I have signed that petition.  Someone was letting off loud fireworks at about 3 am this morning. They woke me up.   I don’t know where they were exactly but it sounded like they were in the vicinity of Dog Kennel Hill.
