To think very small babies shouldn't be in a swimming pool?

[DrSeuss]

As in, under a week? When the cord cannot have healed yet? Even wearing swim nappies and a neoprene nappy?
My own DS started swimming at a few months old but his cord was fully healed. Anything else seems a horrible infection risk to me.

Im sure DDs stump didnt fall off for at least 2 weeks
And even then had umbilical hernia for like a yr.
I wouldnt take such a young baby.
Dd seems to have caught colds etc from pool (possibly used by schoolkids etc)
But also, having asthma im wary of taking swimming too much when very young.
We took DD like 4 times before a yr, and she loves going, now at 3 she will go off with armbands on, jump in etc
After all these lessons im curious if your say 3 yr olds are swimming with no armbands?

I found that bathing baby settled them in the first few days. Especially if they were particularly fretful or windy. The first night with DD2 and after hours of her latched to me the midwife took her for a bath to let me rest for a bit. I woke up 3 hours later with DD beside me and settled. I'm all for wee newborn baths
