Hellooooooo!

Its been a while! After a year out ive now had our much awaited for baby (Huzband had cancer & we were told we could never have children, but naturally we have, shes a miracle  )  ....Scarlett-Rose is 12 weeks old.

Now the huzband says we should camp ASAP....we are considering selling all our stuff and buying BIGGER.  Plus a SIG as ours doesnt have one  But aside from that, whats it like to go camping with a baby? What things might we have to consider that we wouldnt have thought about before. We have EHU & heating etc. But on a practical note what's it like?

Hope you are all well...Ive missed so much!  I will have to catch up!

It's great you'll all love it

Welcome Back!!

As for sleeping I used a gro bag and just extra layers of blankets depending on what the weather was like

Congratulations!!

Hope you have a great time, we took our youngest in her travel cot and all was well,  we too used the growbags! so snuggly for them without any worry about blankets going over their faces!

Welcome back, and many congratulations on your wonderful news!

Yes, we camped with a baby donkey's years ago, when there weren't even disposable nappies!  As folks have said already, you just need a heap more stuff!

At 12 weeks, your little one won't be troubled too much by the temperature drop at night, but it is worth being careful, so keep her close to you, I would say in the same pod, so you can keep an eye on her.  And keep space in the car for the buggy, which doubles as a high-chair!

You'll have loads of fun, and so will Scarlett-Rose!  Start 'em young, I say!

Let us know how you get on!

FoO

Congratulations and welcome back........I remember you posting some wonderful pics!

My baby is now 23 and we first took him when he was only 6 weeks old and he slept through the night for the first time............I thought I'd killed him

I can remember using a sheepskin 'cosy toes' type of thing for him to sleep in, inside a travel cot which was wonderful as we used it for the buggy as well. Because it was like a sheepskin envelope I had no worries of him kicking it off and becoming cold.  Don't know if they still exist but maybe you could line a modern version with a fleece inner?

As for the tent I would def say polycotton or even cotton as it will naturally regulate the temperature better.

Anyway congrats again and we must have some pics of Scarlett-Rose whether she's camping or not!!

I'm sure you don't mean the type of grow bag you get from a garden centre, but I can't think what else you could mean lol :-)
