You may be getting ready to take your baby to the beach or pool for the first time. Get ready for special moments with our baby swimwear guide, which includes a wide range of options for you to choose from.
Choosing the right baby swimsuit can protect your baby’s skin from burns and is essential to keep your baby safe in the sun. Babies have very sensitive and delicate skin, which means they need extra protection when exposed to the sun.
Safety in the water is just as important, so making the right choice when shopping for your baby’s swimsuit is essential to ensure your baby is as safe as possible.
There are a few important things to consider when shopping for summer essentials for your baby. The swimsuit you choose for your baby should cover the skin as much as possible and have UV protection. There are a few other things to keep in mind.
Things to consider when buying a baby swimsuit:
1. UV-resistant Swimsuit
Baby’s skin is highly sensitive to the sun, and some say that using sunscreen alone is not enough to provide adequate protection. UV-blocking swimsuits are a must-have for babies as they block up to 98% of harmful UV rays and can give your baby the extra protection they need while also giving you peace of mind.
2. Tightly Knitted Swimsuits
A swimsuit made with a tighter weave can provide better protection for your baby. The tighter the braided material, the less harmful rays pass through.
Top tip: Hold your baby’s swimsuit up to the light and see how much light is blocked by the woven fabric. This will give you an idea of how tight the weave is.
3. Warmth
Babies get cold easily, so be sure to prioritize warmth when buying a swimsuit for your baby.
It is important to note that newborn babies cannot stay in the water for long periods of time due to their inability to regulate their body temperature. They get cold faster than older babies, so a high-quality, full-coverage swimsuit is essential for newborns.
High-cover swimsuits and hooded towels are a great way to prioritize keeping warm in and out of the water.
4. Swim Safely
Rest assured, wearing a swimsuit allows your baby to float and stay above the water, keeping your baby safe. Buy swimsuits with buoyanta, such as our buoyancy suits.
5. Correct Size
If the size doesn’t fit your baby, look for a single piece rather than a set, and you can mix and match sizes for tops and bottoms. If your baby’s swimsuit is too small, it will not only be uncomfortable, but it will also cause extra sunlight to come in due to the stretching of the fabric. It also rises and exposes more of the skin to the sun.
6. Sensitive Skin
Babies’ skin is often irritated by chlorine, which is common in swimming pools. If your baby also suffers from a skin condition, choose a baby swimsuit that covers as much skin as possible, such as a baby swimsuit. A swimsuit also allows the cream to stay in place.
7. Skin Coverage
It is advisable to cover as much skin as possible to protect the skin. If you’re buying a single item, pair it with a pair of shorts and a long-sleeved top to cover your body as much as possible.
