Beach/Pool

So hopefully I'm not repeating a post but what are everyone's thoughts on bringing your little one to the beach / pool this summer? I'm still waiting for her to make her arrival but we have a pool and our families love the beach. DD1 is also a huge beach fan. I'm thinking we will still be taking frequent beach trips but going later in the afternoon (after 2/3 pm). Of course we will have her in the shade the whole time since she will be too little for sun screen.

    Carters is having a sale on swimwear. I don't know about getting her wet with chlorinated water--I'll have to research that. Plan to bring her to the beach in the shade though.

    We don't do chlorinated pools until 6 months. We won't have an opportunity to go to the beach this summer but I worry about infants overheating.

    I plan on taking DS both to the beach and pool. He won't like the water but he'll be between 3 and 6mos so we'll mostly relax in a chair or blanket under an umbrella.

    My little one will be about 5mths when we go to the beach this summer.  We might try the pool then too.

    We started swim lessons at 8 weeks and plan on doing the same with this baby. And we are going to the beach in July and plan on long sleeve suit and hat. It'll be fun!

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one who plans on bringing their little one out this summer! I definitely plan to do long sleeve suits, afternoon trips, and stay under the umbrella but I can't imagine not going all summer!

    DS started swim classes at 6 weeks and this LO will as well, so I wouldn't worry about the chlorine.

    We are going to the beach with this one is 4 months old. The ped said to still use sunscreen but that it won't be as effective as a long-sleeved swimsuit and a hat. The biggest thing she wanted us to watch out for was the baby overheating, so we will have a couple of shade umbrellas with us also while we are at the beach and just making sure that we're only out in the sun in moderation.
