?
dd has been fine since then but I wondered if immune system could be down for a few days. do you think it would be riskier to take so soon after jabs, would you wait another few days?

You can go BEFORE immunisations, so yes I should think that would be fine!

I worry most about water being sufficiently warm.Did take mine this young but only to specially heated pools.

thanks, I haven't taken her before and was planning to go tommorow. Its just that I have heard about so many mners lo's being unwell after jabs I thought that maybe she could be more at risk for the 1st few days. She's been ok so far though

check with swimming baths first, I went when DD was 10 weeks old and was turned away as the pools policy said no children under 4 months old allowed.

moondog - do you know if there is a recommended minimum temp?

Not sure Cath,but I'd go for something that feels like a war mbath.We were in Moscow when dd was tiny and they had special heated baby pools.Fantastic-for parents as well as bloody boring and cold standing around with a babe in arms.
