How Can I Keep My Baby Warm In The Pool?
Babies can be very sensitive to temperature changes. And often their little bodies respond with skin color changes immediately.
The first time I saw my baby chilly, it was a little disturbing…he literally looked blue!
Living in Texas, we appreciate a trip to the pool on a warm day. It is one of the few outdoor activities that are a possibility in mid-July through August. One thing that isn’t expected is that sometimes the water temperature is chilly and baby can actually be cold!

-A friend of mine had that problem even in the bath and turned out he was anemic. Might be worth getting checked.
–Get a neoprene wet suit for her. We’ve had one on my son for swimming since three months. He’s 17 months now and we can be in the pool over an hour with him in his wetsuit.
