Signed DD up for diaper dip . . ? about swim clothes for LO

in Parenting after a Loss

I am so excited to take Catherine to her first swim class next weekend!  Apparently, when I was an infant I hated swim class.  I hope DD is different.  And I hope she doesn't want to nap when it is class time since it is a $67 class. 

Question for moms with daughters- have you bought your baby a swim suit?  Where?  Did you buy something cute or a functional type that is like a shirt and shorts? 

Also, any recs on good swim diapers?

    We bought my DD a blow-up pool a week before her first swim lesson and she loves both (and bath time too)!

    For swim lessons my DD wears a Huggies Swim diaper and a regular swimsuit over it, but for in the outdoor kiddy pool she wears a swim diaper with a sun shirt over it.

    Be prepared for lots of singing songs in the pool, at least our YMCA does that and my DH is taking her, it's funny to watch!

    I have been tossing the idea around of looking into cloth diapering.  DH isn't too thrilled about it, but every time I throw out a huge bag of DD's dirty diapers I feel so bad that it will be in a landfill forever.  DD is already contributing to environmental harm and she can't even crawl!

    We had our first class last Saturday and she loved it.  We sang songs and splashed and practiced kicking.  At the end they had us put the babies/kids (there were some older kids too...like 3 yo) under water.  DH and I weren't sure at first but Mallory didn't mind at all!  Hope your LO enjoys too!

    As for swim suit...she has three.  I'm trouble, I know.  Two are just one piece suits from Target -- Circo brand.  The third is a two piece tankini from old navy.  It's a little big on her though.  When we go to the beach next month, she has a terry cloth hooded cover up as well to help with the sun.

    She wears Huggies swim diapers in class.  At home in her little pool I don't do a diaper.  I haven't tried Pampers swim diapers yet b/c I've had coupons for Huggies.

    Have fun!

    Huggies swim dipes here, too. OneStepAhead.com has cute suits with SPF. That is where I got a suit for DS this year :)

    N's is from Janie and Jack (courtesy of her Nana).  I think my mom also just bought her another one - she's terrible.  We have a couple of beach coverups too and a wide brim hat.  WE've used Huggies swim dipes and they worked well.
