A Day In The Pool

Ronan LOVES his new pool!

We got him his own pool for Christmas and he never wants to get out.premature babies, parenting, christmas, premmie poem

He could be shivering and have blue lips but wants to stay in there. When we think he has had enough he makes us chase him around the pool to try and grab him. Once we do finally get a hold of him and put the towel around him he throws a tanty!

It seems like we have a real water baby on our hands.

I am about to book Ronan in for swimming lessons as i believe it will help him with his muscle tone. Most early born premature babies have low muscle tone which is why many have to attend physio to help reach their milestones and Ronan is certainly one of those babies/toddlers.

A friend who’s little girl didn’t walk until she was 2 years old started swimming lessons and within 3 months started walking. I do not know if swimming honestly contributed to her walking but many physio’s recommend swimming as a form of strenghting your muscles so i really want to give it a go!
