Swimming At 4 Months

[arjay]

I have just heard of a mother who takes her 4 month old uninoculated baby to a public swimming pool.
Surely this is asking for trouble as it is possible to catch some disease
at this early age.
Your comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

It's not a problem. Some people take their babies to a public pool very soon after birth. The pool should be heated, though.

Thank you, hc4361, for putting my mind at rest.

what sort of preventable illnesses do you htink they would get? If they are un-inoculated then whatever age they are at they will be at the same risk
