    How do I avoid swimmers ears for my toddler?
    I just found your channel and I’m in love ❤

      Thank you! And I'm glad you found my channel. Swimmer's ear in toddlers can be prevented with a few simple steps. First, you can try earplugs, although they tend to fall out when swimming. Secondly, clean the outer ear using a soft cloth after swimming and avoid using cotton swabs. Lastly, this next tip is appropriate for 3 years plus. Having said that, it might still be okay for under three. I recommend asking your pediatrician just to be sure. Anyway, it's a home remedy of vinegar and rubbing alcohol. I wrote a whole blog post on it. I've been using it since 2018 and have avoided swimmer's ear altogether. Before I discovered it, I constantly dealt with swimmers' ear infections.

      With the swim lessons. Are they a daily thing or once a week?

    Where do I get a wetsuit like the one used in the video? What size would you recommend for a 4 month old.

    • @TessaRhodes
      @TessaRhodes  Рік тому

      Here's a link to a baby wetsuit for a 4-month-old girl: amzn.to/3GU0GBp And here's a link to a boy's baby wetsuit. www.swimoutlet.com/products/konfidence-babywarma-baby-7532229/? Amazon and SwimOutlet.com are your best bet. Check out the links I provided; they have exactly what you need! When it comes to finding something specific, though, be sure to read the description carefully. You should look for neoprene material that is 1.5 to 3 mm in thickness.

      Also, here's the link to the wetsuit I used in the video. It's for an adult, but here it is: amzn.to/3WlcF0x

      I have a 12 month old son. I was thinking of getting him the Amazon link you posted for baby because it’s easier to return if he doesn’t like it…

    My baby is 11 months, took him to classes twice a week from 6-8 months and then did mommy and me class for a few weeks. He does not like back floating. He really stresses and never really even lets me even hold him with his back to me. I use a wetsuit. Any advice?

    • @TessaRhodes
      @TessaRhodes  Рік тому +2

      Give him a toy, get him in the best back float position you can, and then count to three. In your case, you may only be able to get him into a sitting position with his back to your chest. That's okay; just count to three, and if he's resisting in that position, count to three faster and then hold him in a prone position and move him forward for a few seconds, maybe toward a ball. Then repeat the whole routine a few times. Try to incorporate this routine at every opportunity, and eventually, he'll catch on to what you're doing and begin to relax since he knows he only has to put up with it to the count of three. I hope this helps.

    When I try to get my baby to back float he sticks his legs straight up to the sky. How can I break this habit?

    • @TessaRhodes
      @TessaRhodes  Рік тому +2

      A baby wetsuit will help with that. Also, you can give him a toy, gently put his feet in the water and then count to three or sing to him. Almost all of my infant students do the same thing. With some practice and incorporating the above suggestions, your baby will eventually stop sticking his legs in the air.

    Wet suits Float . Giving false sense of security . Not floating independently. Wet suit holding him .

    • @TessaRhodes
      @TessaRhodes  Рік тому +2

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I understand your concern about wetsuits providing a false sense of security. However, it's important to note that wetsuits are not intended to function like life jackets or puddle jumpers, which are designed to keep a child afloat during an emergency. Instead, wetsuits are designed to keep a child warm and comfortable in the water, and they also help them relax and trust the water due to the neoprene material providing slight buoyancy. However, it's important to remember that wetsuits do not offer the same level of buoyancy as life jackets or puddle jumpers, which can keep a child afloat in any situation, providing a false sense of security.
