"I picked up a cute little two-piece swimwear for my daughter. She thought it was completely inappropriate and was shocked that I would even consider putting her in one."
The mum asked was it wrong to buy a bikini for her 8-year-old?
Or is her friend being unreasonable?
Many mums agreed that a two-piece is easier, especially if your child needs to go to the toilet.
One said, "I wouldn't put them in a tiny scrappy triangle bikini, but a two-piece is much easier to toileting."
Another added, "My daughter wore tankinis at that age and still prefers them to a full swimsuit, as do I."
"For what it's worth my 7yo niece was pictured on Facebook in one last summer and I felt uncomfortable seeing it. It felt like she was trying to emulate older girls in terms of the style of bikini and pose."
What do you think? Is 8 too young for a bikini or is it alright once the child is happy wearing it?Explore more on these topics:
