I Play Baby Swimwear

first time mommy taking baby to beach? my family are going to the beach late june, he'll be 4 months old at that time. what should i keep in mind and be prepared with? swim diapers? i have swimwear, hats, and sunglasses, all with sun protection, for him already. my mom wants to buy him a play tent but is it really needed if he likes to move around a lot and we're planning to take him out only before 10am and after 5pm? any advises and tips are appreciated! Well depending on how far away you live from the beach, I think will be your biggest problem. All of the things you have listed are very important, but it looks like you have a handle on those. When I took my son, at 1 yr, my biggest problem ended up being the drive there. I live about 12 hours from the beach and let me tell you they were the longest of my life. If your child is a good rider in the car, fall asleep type you will be fine. MIne was not! Best advice I can give for the drive is leave at night right around bed time so he will sleep on the way. Maybe you can make it there by morning when he wakes up. Giving the age make sure you bring plenty and then extra diapers, wipes, and formula. Schedule feeding times and stops where your going to feed him/her at. I found it also helpful to designate a diaper changing station in the car. So your not having to use those nasty baby changing stations in the public restrooms. In this station make sure to have diapers and wipes accessible. No luggage so you have room to lay the baby down to be comfortable. Also we got a dvd player for the car to keep the child sorda entertained when he did wake up. Make sure to take a play-pin, bassinet, or something for the child to sleep in so it's not in the bed with you waking you up every 5 minutes. Don't forget blankey's, stuffed animals, or maybe a small music playing mobile with you. Plus remember anything he/she needs at home, they will need on your trip. Good luck!

Maternity Swimwear Options for Summer

As an expecting mum, there are plenty of maternity swimwear options for this summer.  You might not think that there is an ample playing field for expectant mothers, but once you dive into the world of maternity swimwear you will see just how wrong you were. 

These swimsuits were made with "MIM": Mummy In Mind.  Depending on what stage of pregnancy you are in, you might be able to fit into a regular sized bathing suit without any trouble.  However, if you are hitting that 4 month mark, you might want to see what is available for you in the maternity swimwear section.  If you have just given birth, you might want to opt for some of these maternity swimwear options as well.

The Everlasting One Piece

If you are really self conscious about your baby bump or you just want to keep it extra protected, you might want to go with a one piece swimsuit.  You will also feel a lot of support in a one piece bathing suit, that you would not normally feel with tankinis or bikinis.  For mums who already have given birth, you might feel better in a one piece as you will be able to hide any stretch marks.  One piece bathing suits never go out of style and you will see just how many are available for you when you do your maternity swimwear shopping.

Taking a Two Piece Out for a Ride

Many women go directly to the one piece swimsuit without at least giving a two piece swimsuit a chance.  There are many benefits to wearing a two piece suit that you might not get while wearing one piece suit.  Some women feel restricted by having their baby bump covered which is why they opt for the two piece.  Here you will feel that your baby bump has room to grow.  If you want to hide up the bump a bit, you can get a special maternity tankini which are really cute.  For most women, you can use regular bikinis and find that you have a wider selection.  You can also wear these swimsuits after you are finished being pregnant as well.

Other Maternity Swimsuit Options

There are a lot of great options when it comes to picking out a maternity suit.  Try on both to see which one is right for you.  If you like the feel of a two piece, but would like to cover up at times, then it might be a great idea to invest in a swim dress, a wrap or a sarong to cover you up when you feel vulnerable.  Once you want to let your baby bump move freely then you can strip back down into your bikini.   Maternity swimwear accessories are a great way to stay fashionable and to cover up from time to time.
