6 month old daughter in a hot tub (HEAT IS OFF)

Question

i want to take her in the hot tub with me, the heat is not on so its more like a swimming pool. I put her feet in the other day and she loved it, the water was actually about as warm as I put her bath water.

bad idea???

Answer 1

If the heat is not on I don't see how it could do any harm as long as she is supervised. I say go for it. Sounds like fun.

Answer 2

If it is bath tub warm then I say go for it but I would make sure it was not any warmer than that.  Bath tub warm or less is the perfect temp to introduce a baby to play in the water.

Answer 3

Not a bad idea. Just make sure you are holding her at all times and give her a bath afterwards...the chlorine in the water may irritate her skin. If you are going in the day make sure to put sunscreen on her and I recommend getting the swimmer diapers so she doesn't pee in the hot tub.

Answer 4

No problem, just make sure your chlorine and other levels are ok. It's better if the chlorine levels are a bit on the low side. As long as the water is like bathwater there's no worries. Make sure you give her a bath afterwards to wash off germs and any chemical residue.

Answer 5

no..as long as you never leave her alone of course.  ilive by the beach and was taking my daughter during the summer when the water is warm when she was 4 months.  she loved to be in the water andits so cute watching them learn to swim at such an early age. just keep her safe and it will be fine

Answer 6

it should be ok as long as she reacts fine to the chemicals and she doesnt get ANY of the water in her mouth.  And please keep the heat off!!!

Answer 7

As long as the heat is off and you do not put her head anywhere near the water she should be fine. Not so much for drowning- but because of the chemicals used in hot tubs. Even if you had the heat on and it was under the normal temperature, around 90 degrees, she should be ok. Babies LOVE water, and under a supervised condition can have a lot of fun!  

Answer 8

as long as the heat isn't on I don't see why not

Answer 9

If the heat isn't on, and it's just as warm as her bath water, why not? I'm sure thats fun for her, i would do the same with my baby if i had a hot tub, lucky you!
