Swimming

Does anyone take their DC swimming?  Every time I take DS, he gets a rash from the cholorine.  Anything I can do to prevent it?  I wash him with a warm cloth as soon as we get home and put lotion on it and it clears up after a day or so.  It's all little round spots and its mostly under any clothes he wears in the pool.  (Bathing suit, body suit, etc)

    How long are you swimming for?  Our pool is salt water and not chlorine, so I'm not going to be a whole lot of help for you.  Can you shower him at the pool instead?

    The only pool we go to (so far) is salt water, so no help here either.  But I think showering off ASAP would help.

    Poor guy screams in the shower.  Its just not his style lol.  They are reducing the cholorine in the pool, but I don't think there are any salt water ones around.  We've just been going to Kidsplash at the YMCA.

    The only problems we've had are that his already dry skin is just a little bit dryer but once we get home and it's dried out a bit I put lotion on it's gone away by the am.

    The same thing happens with DS.  I asked our nurse about it and she took a look at it as well.  She says it's not really a big deal.  Make sure you wash them really well after swimming and apply a lot of a good lotion.  She said she heard good things about the baby Spectro, but we haven't tried this yet.  She said that if it seems bad, just space out the swimming more.

    Adult spectro works good for me, so I am sure that the baby stuff works well too.  I've been putting on johnsons baby lotion, and its doing ok.  I think we will be spacing out the swimming a bit more too.
