We went on holiday when DD was 4 and 7 months old, but found her full body UV sunsuit a complete faff, what with the need for swim nappies underneath, sand getting in her bum etc; especially at 7 months, her tolerance for it was minimal and she ended up in her little vest lots of the time.
She's now 15 months and we're off on holiday in a few weeks time - it will be hot .
JoJo Maman are doing cute swimsuits (with no sleeves, like grown-up swimsuits) with an inbuilt swim nappy, which just seems to me like the most practical thing ever. Obviously we would keep her in the shade, indoors at lunchtime, and slathered with Factor 50. But will I be considered negligent for not having her head to toe in UV-proof fluorescent pink nylon (she has v fair Celtic skin and blonde hair)?
