Swim nappies for an 8 week old?

I've been looking around and the Little Swimmers ones seem to start at larger than DD's 11lb. Can anyone recommend what I should get instead, or where I can get disposable swim nappies for a very wee one?

DS had a Happy Nappy at that age. His swimming class insisted they only wear this brand because they're most leakproof apparently.

The designs have got snazzier in the last couple of years though.

Thanks! And do you just put a normal disposable nappy underneath?

DS had small size Tesco disposable swim nappy with a happy nappy over the top. Never had a single leak!

Yes. He also had a little wetsuit, but the pool we used was quite cold.

little swimmers size 1 are for less than 11 lb, we took ds from 8 weeks and used these. only thing is i don't think they sell them in all the supermarkets only the very large ones, our local tesco only sells from size 2

morph, that was my problem, I'm struggling to find any of the disposable swimming nappies in size 1, even online!
