CassandraLee - 1284 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I wouldnt with a baby that little. Like aulrobbi said; they cant regulate their body temperature very well and most pools and lakes are pretty cold. If youre bringing him/her in a pool, the chlorine isnt good for their fragile skin. 7 weeks is too young for sun screen, so you wouldnt want baby outside much either. Call your doctor if you're unsure.
