Your baby won't be able to regulate his body temperature very well until he's around 6 to 12 months old, so where you want to swim with him can make a difference. If you're in Hawaii and the water's as warm as a bathtub, your infant can certainly get wet for a few minutes.
„But use common sense,” says Howard Reinstein, a pediatrician in Encino, California and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics. „If the water feels chilly to you, it will be really cold for your baby.” If your baby starts to shiver or his lips turn blue, it's time to get out of the water. You should also be careful to choose a wading spot that's calm, clean, and protected by on-duty lifeguards. Oceans, lakes, and rivers can all have strong currents and waves that could make it difficult for you to hold onto your baby.
Bringing a baby younger than 2 months into the water is particularly risky. „For newborns we really worry about immunity — how vulnerable babies are to illness — so I recommend that parents not take their young infants into swimming pools, lakes, oceans, and so on,” says Reinstein. Also, be sure that your baby isn't drinking the water. He could contract „recreational water illness” — caused by ingesting bacteria from human or animal feces. Recreational water illness is a risk whether you're swimming in a natural body of water or in the pool at your country club.
And finally, think about safety — drowning and near-drowning are leading causes of death and injury for young children. Keep the following safety tips in mind in or around any body of water:
• Practice „touch supervision,” which means an adult should be within arm's reach of an infant or toddler at all times when near water.
• Always hold your baby when in the water and stay where it's shallow enough for you to keep firm footing.
• If there's a swift current or undertow, don't let your child go into the water. In situations such as this, touch supervision may not be enough to prevent a child from being swept into the current or undertow.
• The American Red Cross advises that children wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device (PFD) that fits properly. (The U.S. Coast Guard publishes a list of manufacturers that make PFDs for young children on its Web site.)

nama je pedijatar rekao isto. bolje izbegavati, ništa neće da bude ako jedne godine ne odete bas na more a odete negde drugde.
beba je pored mora izlozena i jakom zracenju..ja se ne bih igrala..ne znam šta nasi ljudi toliko navaljuju bas na more, kad ima sto raznih drugih boljih mesta za odmor.
