What should I put in my baby beach bag?

1. Obviously the changing kit - a swim diaper, a regular diaper for after the swim, a towel and a change of clothes. It’s even easier if you put a swim diaper on your baby at home - you won’t have to be fiddling with it on the sand. I use hooded towels for the beach, they are very convenient.

1. I am so glad you answered the sand question because it was one of the first things that popped into my mind!

   I would also say, if you live near a beach and go a lot, get one of those little baby beach tent things (basically an open dome). Having been to the beach with a 2 year old, if that wind starts blowing sand around they will be very unhappy. Being able to take cover but still hand with everyone and play really helps!

3. hey there again :)
   Im excited yesterday because I took my baby out for swimming in the pool.
   And that’s his 1st experience to get there :)
   nothing’s troubled me when it was happen and now he’s sick because he’s too tired (according to the doctor’s). Is this thing always happen to baby on their first swim?

4. Hi Rissa! It’s not common for a 10 months old to be tired after a swim, maybe he wasn’t well before and getting sick after a swim was just a coincidence?

Any parent who loves the beach and lives close to one is probably wondering when they can finally take their baby for a swim in the sea. We live 10 minutes away from the ocean and I was thinking about that a lot. Here are the main questions that were bothering me followed by the answers.

2. Living in Kentucky, I have never taken my son to the beach. We will probably be going to GA and FL this summer though, so I am going to bookmark this for later!

5. Hey, that’s fine - if I didn’t like talking about babies I wouldn’t start a blog about them :)

   I started taking my son when he was 3.5 - 4 months old to swim, just after he had his immunization shots to minimize the chance for him to catch some infection in the pool. Read this post about how my baby went to the pool for the first time.

Even before my baby was born I decided he will start swimming from 3 month of age. Well, it took a bit more than 3 months because we wanted to do the 4th month immunization first, but eventually we took Eric to the Aquatic centre. At first I was only going to let him swim with the Little swimmers (or Water babies, some course of that sort) but then Rob and I discussed it and decided that we want to let him try once on his own - to see if he even likes the water.
