Leaving baby in buggy when going for swim

[Popsicle72]

I’m on a forum for outdoor swimmers and spotted this argument a few days ago. A mum was looking for advice about dryrobe to use. She mentioned she leaves her baby in buggy when she goes for a swim. Lots of people gave dryrobe recommendations and then someone pointed out how irresponsible it is to consider going off for swim and leaving baby in buggy. Such an argument/debate followed. I am in agreement that’s it’s very irresponsible but just wondered what others think? Sometimes I think I worry too much about child safety

Wild swimming is not without risks. More likely that a baby would be alone because something happened to the swimmer.

It's fine. Until it's not...

Why did she have to time it so that the baby was sleeping if she was getting friends to watch them?

It's ridiculously irresponsible. It literally makes me feel anxious even imagining it.

I'm willing to bet the number of successful prosecutions for child neglect on account of a baby left in a car whilst parents go into petrol station shop, with the car in eyesight, is zero

Thanks everyone for replies, yes common sense is prevailing in that it’s not safe to do this. It just shocked me how many people tried to say it was ok

It really isn’t ok. I’m not sure how so many people can pretend it is really.

Because there isn't enough detail about where it's happening.
