Hello all, of on holiday soon and want to spend time in the pool with our 9 month old baby.

Please suggest the best floats and swimming nappies for that age.

Thank you

Boots disposable swimming nappies are fab. We used a swimming ring as it has a seat integrated - Zoggs

Many swimming pools/classes insist on the happy nappy because it's so good at containing Grin
Either a disposable swin underneath nappy under or a reusable (the nappy below is for ease of clear up if baby poos and isn't essential)

No floats. Much safer to hold him, and he will learn water safety and flotation much more quickly.

Amount of times i've seen babies taken out the pool, floats taken off, parent turns back to get a towel, baby crawls or toddles back to the pool...

Concentrate on teaching him to float by himself.
