how soon can i take my newborn swimming
It's normal to bleed for anything up to six weeks after birth. However, your baby can go swimming at any time from birth, although most baby swimming classes start at six weeks. If you are keen for your baby to be introduced to swimming before he is six weeks old, your partner or someone else can take him. If your baby is under a year old, limit your time in the water to 30 minutes maximum. 2  If your baby has a bad cold, a temperature or seems unwell, don't go swimming. 3  Also, your baby shouldn't swim with a tummy bug and shouldn't go swimming until he has been clear for at least 48 hours.
