if you are breastfeeding , as said before, it makes life a lot easier and less stress all round.

if our little one wakes in the night, it takes a couple of seconds for me to roll over , pick him up and feed him. so only noise for seconds, and then minutes later he is back to sleep again!

we even take the nappy bucket, which we leave outside the tent back door, and use washable nappies! (we use terry nappies and waterproof wraps) we just rinse the wraps out and they dry in the tent overnight, the nappies, we make sure that we take enough to last (else upset other campers by using the camp laundry lol)

must say that the baby sleeps really well in the tent, with all the fresh air he is exhausted!!

also took a tip from another ukcs member (cant remember who) and take 2 dog stakes and tie a long rope taut between the two, loop over the harness reins and let bubs crawl up and down outside the tent to his hearts content!!

id say "go for it !" its fab!!

an inflatable baby bath which was great at bathtimes and a chair for him to sit at and keep out of the way - we had a folding one that acts as a booster seat but something like a bumbo would be the same.

go for it and try and have fun.

A far cheaper 'baby bath' is one of those kiddie inflatable boats from a pound store (although I must admit I didn't see them in Poundland this year). Apart from being dirt cheap, the inflated bit around the edge is great at supporting the baby's back once he/she can sit up (not that I am advocating leaving them unsupervised like that!!!).

The IKEA highchairs are great for camping as the legs just come off, leaving the seat much easier to pack, and they are amazingly easy to clean as there are no corners to catch the food.

Less than £11 and you can also get a removable tray to go on them.
