Hi we are total newbies to camping, hoping to go away for the weekend next month.

Question is we are taking a 3 month old baby what should I put her in at night to keep her warm?

Thanks in advance

 hi ladybirdh your aspen is big enough to take a travel cot,heres another one for your first weekend away pick a site that is away but still near enough to get home if you forget anything

sorry i cant advise you re nightwear you are his/her mum and you will know what is best so just keep checking the baby if theyare cold add a layer if they appear to warm lose a layer mum will know best in the end

but re the ehu you have a small red zip about 6 inches long by one of the side doors on your aspen this is specifically for the ehu with the baby you may wish to consider a halgen heater(preferbly with a tip cut off switch) and they also kick out a lot light

hope you have a great time and welcome to "TEAM ASPEN"

You have to ask the site re the pitches. Say you want a tent pitch, ask them if they have them with hook up and then if you have a particularly big tent, mention what size it is and check that will be okay.

Can't help re the baby thing, we co-slept with all of ours so it would have been a vest and babygro and under our duvet for some snuggles. Lots of people wouldn't have liked that but it works for us with our babies.

I have just bought my 6 month old baby a Vango Nitestar Baby sleeping bag. They are quite big and maybe a little too big for a 3 month old (my son was 10lb born and he still looks lost in it)  but its definately worth looking into it for the future as they are very warm and thick and apparently last until age 2 - 21/2. I paid £12.99 which I think is a bargain for 2 years worth of wear.

Good luck on your first trip. Our first is on the 6th July, just for the weekend!

Thanks Maverick and Minxie will definately look into getting a nitestar slleping bag they look so cute 

Our first camping trip 14th july.

Good luck with your camping trip Minxie

Thanks for the search Foggers because you found this my baby is getting a new travel cot .We only have one of the heavy metal ones at the moment but now we are getting a funky light weight one,
