Baby Bathing Suits?

Lauren&Joe

Charlotte has two beach trips coming up this summer. We're doing a week with each set of grandparents. Can't wait! But I'm in desperate need for some baby bathing suits and it seems like they are really hard to find. Charlotte's pretty little, which makes it harder. We have a trip at the begining of June (she'll be in 3-6 months) and then one in July where she'll be like 6 1/2 months. The way she's growing I bet 3-6 will work for most of the summer, but they are hard to find! Any suggestions?

Have you checked Target? Thats where I got Lily's last year.

Target has some really cute ones! They are on an end cap, not where the clothes are...

My MIL just bought all her grandkids suits from Old Navy for Easter

Ellie's first bathing suits were from Gymboree. The first one was a gift, but it had a thin rubber liner in the diaper that I loved, so I got her next one there too.

I'm dying over the adorable suits, for girls, at Janie and Jack.

I went to target and all of their suits were big - like size 12 mos and up!  It was a month ago so maybe they've added more sizes since. 

I agree Janie and Jack have the CUTEST!!!  I have my eye on a red and white striped bikini. If you wait a bit all of their stuff generally goes on sale so don't pay full price.

I also agree that gymboree has really cute stuff.  My mom got dd a pair of baby sunglasses that fit her perfectly.

Good luck and have fun shopping!

I thought so too, but they have the infant suits on an end cap (end of an aisle), not with the regular clothes.

I've found a few swimsuits for DD at TJ Maxx.

Thanks! I was just at Target today and the end cap suits were sold out of small sizes. I'll try the Target near me later today. I LOVE the Janie and Jack suits too. Definitely will be shopping those during the sales. I haven't shopped at Gymboree. Thanks for the suggestion! Especially the waterproof diaper part. Since the only little swimmers I saw at Target today were 16 lbs and up. Not sure those are going to fit our tiny tot in June.

Very cool. So you just bought one and wash it out every night? Sorry if that's a dumb question. I'm new to CD's.

Yep! I do even do cloth diapers at home, My cousin does and recommended it and its worked out perfect, so easy and you don't have to worry about buying swimmer diapers!

BTW. LOVE this suit. They had an adorable all red suit with little red fabric flowers on it, but it must have sold out because the accessories are online, but the suit is MIA.

I would caution against using a swim diaper at the beach/pool when you're not in the water.  Those things do not absorb, they just prevent poo from getting into the water.  With a baby or toddler, they are for when you are in the water only, unless you want pee everywhere.

Yes! I was so upset. I wanted the red suit, swim cap (completely un-necessary but adorable) and the big black sunglasses. But the suit is gone!

I got Maddie's at Carter's.  She will be 5 months old at the beginning of May, so I bought a 6-12 month suit.

l.m.k.

Nora has a couple - from Target, Old Navy, and Gymboree.
