The baby is around 3 months old. Will the chlorine be dangerous?

Don't put the baby under the water, but hotel pools follow the same regulations as regular public pools, they are checked daily and the right chemicals are in there. Don't let the baby get water in his ears, face or mouth and I think you'll be fine.
Pools want babies to be in diapers. You can buy swim diapers at most drugstores and maybe right at the hotel front desk.
Water is good for kids, the earlier you have them in water the earlier they'll love it.
Go ahead, have a soak.

We stayed at a hotel last month and someone there had a six month old in the pool. You should check with the front desk to find out how often they check the chlorine levels, to me it seems hotel pools always have high levels. Young babies do have sensitive skin so the chlorine could be a concern. Another big concern for me would be the temperature of the water. A baby that young still doesn't have the best temperature regulation, and hotel pools can be cold.

It is NOT ok to take a 3 month old into a pool. The chlorine will be dangerous for their sensitive skin.

I wouldnt be worried about the chlorine i would be worried about what other germs could be in the pool that are fine for us and not young babies i mean just because there is chlorine in the pool doesnt mean it kills everything but if you do take baby in to the pool make sure its not for long and bathe him afterwards to get rid of everything including diaper rash chances

At 3 months I would be a little concerned about it. You don't know how well they take care of the pool or whether the chlorine level in the pool is too low or too high. So, I would not do it if it were me.

No, but the baby's urine or poop could cause serious problems for the others in the pool...Try a small blow up pool on the side it'll keep everyone happy

I looked on some baby swimming club websites and some of the classes are for 12 week old baby's. So I guess if you a ok with it than its ok.

I think the poop and pee from your baby will endanger the other guests in the pool. Keep the baby out until he is potty trained not to poop in the pool. I dont want to swim into your kids "logs".

Call the pediatrician and ask this question of the nurse.

I wouldn't advise it. There might not be any thing wrong with it. I wouldn't just becuz the baby is so young.
