Ain't that the truth. When I took Freddie yesterday, we had ten minutes in the pool and he was so exhausted afterwards, his eyes rolled back in his head like the anti-christ and he was asleep within 8 seconds of being put in his pram. Normally it takes jigging, rocking, singing, etc. before he'll nod off. I love swimming!

We do a 30-minute parent & baby session - imagine yours x 3! :cool: We're both knackered afterwards, but unfortunately only one of us gets to fall asleep in a warm and snug pram - the other one has to push it all the way home...

Didn't even think about swim nappies! Will have to see if smaller ones exist.

I think Huggies swim nappies start at 7lbs, so you'll be fine

Forgot to mention earlier - when I was in Sainsbury's this morning, all Ella's pouches were 4 for the price of 3. Oh, and my favourite biscuits were half price - when I got to the till, I noticed that a couple had accidentally fallen into my basket.

What we found last year when we were looking was that they DO a size 2 little swimmers nappy but you can't buy packs of that size anywhere at least local to us - you can only get them as part of the starter set box with a hooded towel in there and a few nappies. Size 3 onwards you can buy just the small packs of them, but size 2's a nightmare to find. Asda do swimming nappies as well in their Little Angels range but I found them to be a bit harder to get on and off as they're the pull-up pants type style.

Yeah, I've not seen Huggies Little Swimmers in anything smaller than the size 3/4 that I use. Luckily Freddie's got such an enormous schlong that, even at birth, he was able to fill size 3/4 with no 'ruching' around the boy-bits. That's my boy!

You can use a reusable pocket nappy with no inner as a swim nappy. You can get them from 5lbs and re-use them again and again! If that would suit x

Hmmm... So Huggies make normal nappies that leak and swim nappies that you can't actually buy anywhere? No wonder they're struggling.

LOL. Great wipes though - I'm a big fan of huggies pure. Bonus that they always seem to be on offer too

Really? Could I use my TotsBots then d'you reckon? In that case it's just me who needs a swimsuit, I must have a non-maternity one somewhere...

I can't stand Huggies pure wipes, too thick and they always bloody tear trying to get them out of the packet. Also they just sort of smeared the poo around rather than wiping it up. Had so many free packs of them (various vouchers etc) and was glad when they were gone! Actually I fib I've got 2 packs but they're in the cupboard for emergencies only as I got so sick of them. Johnson's in the pink packet for me, especially when I bought 60 packs for 50p each
