Help~~Should I buy swimsuit for babymoon?

[babymoon]

Help! I'm bringing babymoon to sentosa beach this coming sunday and this is the first time she goes to the seaside.. I intend to buy her a bikini swimsuit BUT..

my sis said "toddler dun need lah, let them be NATURAL.. naked.. haha"
my mom said "seldom bring her go swim, wear one time only, wasted"
my darling said "huh... need ah?" 11:

Then should I buy??? mummies here pls help~~

Just be natural, its seaside, its NOT swimming pool. so she can wear a t-shirt or topless.
my boys 3 and 5 do that too whenever they are at the seaside. To me, buying swim wear for kids younger than 6years old is a waste of money because 1stly, they grow up so fast, 2ndly its expensive for the small piece of clothing.

BUT unless you have enrolled her for a swimming class, then its a different story, only then I think swim wear is a MUST!

if you nv brin her to swimming pool, then a t-shirt and shorts can liao, do go topless la, scare catch cold.

Erm... I bought for DD bikini when she was 3 coz I'm vain like to dress my gal up (down?) Haha. Brought her to beach as well.. Depends on u... Heh.

i also think is a waste because a small piece only and soon can't be wore lor.. so i try to gather all your info then only make decision. hehe..

is a good idea hor, just let her wear her normal t-shirt and short pants.. dun topless lah.. later she will say "shy shy".. haa.. gal mah..

bikini very cute hor.. but you bring her to swimming pool also? we never bring her to swimming pool.. so worry really wear once..

lotion ah.. wat kind of lotion suitable for kids? i only have oil lotion for baby.. normaly type but not sun protection ler..

 

[CanCanMum]

u need to buy sunblock specially for babies, at least SPF 50 hor. Canx play play one....make sure whole body apply....LOLs...

apply more on the face and shoulders...coz these areas more prone to direct sunlight

kiddy palace, OG etc all got sell...think going at $30+ per tube, white colour, once apply yr princess will look like got foundation make up on face....hahahaha! v pretti!

think brand is medela or something, same brand as the anti-stretch marks cream...

Ya very cute. Yupz I brought her to swimming pool since 1 yr old! I dink they will love water alot, why dun try bring her to pool more often? Heh.

If u buy those whole piece swimsuit, then it will be slightly wasted if she hardly swims. But if u buy bikini, think u can wear for at least 2yrs..

I bought this swimsuit for my gal when she was 1yr old.. wore until 2.5yr old. Then change to bikini now.. Heh.

My bb not born yet but my hb has big plans to teach her how to swim. He even bought bb two swim bottoms for 6 mths & 1yr from Bumwear. Our current house has no pool so he purposely joined a private club so can have access to private pool. (pretty awesome pool with waterfall btw) He say bb will b gng swimming as soon as 3mths. I can't swim so it's out of my hands. Think 3mths a bit too early but he say his mom brought him go swimming that age, so how to argue with him?

I bought Coppertone No Rub Sunscreen for my DD. It's spray on type. SPF50. Can be used for children 6mths & above.

Erm.. 3mths is fine to start swim oredi, some started when they were newborns! But to expose bbs to swimming pools below age of 6mths not advisable coz haben taken all the jabs.. dunno if those pools r clean or not..

3mths swimming in bathtub I won't b too concern lah. But he talking abt throwing her in a big pool. The swimming pool is hardly utilized and is very well maintained but still... my hb siao.
