Babies abroad and pool/beachwear

[DDM]

Ugh this is such a silly question but I can't work out what to do

We are going to Malta next month, it will be the first time I have travelled with a baby (I waited until DS was 5 before going abroad as it just seemed so stressful lugging all the kit around).

What do/did your babies wear nappywise around the pool/on the beach? I have some of the huggies little swimmer nappies but I don't really want to lug loads with me, and I've seen some trunks that have a nappy in but if they are in and out of the pool then I'm not sure if I'd need loads?

Anything else that you can recommend?

Help please!

You can get washable swim nappies, I haven't tried them though.
They do need something else on top, probably a wetsuit unless the water is really warm - the nappies don't contain very well.

We used little swimmer nappies and got him a UV all in one suit so he was protected from sun on this chest etc still.

Thanks ladies, I got him one of the UV suits SJ but will look out for a wetsuit type thing too, thanks Dr Spouse.
