xp: baby swimwear

We are going to Punta Cana (woohoo!) the first week in Feb for some fun in the sun. Anyway, I want my LO to get in the pool and ocean a bit and play around. How does this work with a diaper? I've found all sorts of cute swim trunks and little rash guards to help protect from the sun but not sure if there's something else that would be better and prevent a soggy diaper. 

Thanks!

I haven't found disposable swim diapers in any size smaller than 3, so when my DS1 was very small, we used a cloth swim diaper that I ordered from onestepahead.com. He never pooped in it, so I can't attest to how well it performed that way, but it was easy to use and wasn't droopy/soggy.

They make Little Swimmer diapers. I know they're all over the place in summer, not sure where to buy them during winter... At our YMCA, non-potty-trained kids can't swim without a swimmer diaper because the swimmer diapers not only don't swell, they contain the poo or pee better, apparently. ETA: I get small/med/large swim diapers... look at the weight, but I just used a small diaper on my 6 week old baby (11 pounds, 3 ounces) last week and it worked well.

Buy a few cloth ones - check out Jillian's Drawers or Nicki's Diapers, both online. 

Swim diapers are for poop, not pee. They are not waterproof.

I've found cloth swim diapers work best (love the ones made by finis).
