Hi

Has anyone ever taken a baby in a two berth caravan.

He will be a couple of months old by the time we are thinking of going.

We cant decide if it fesible or just book a cottage this time and wait until we upgrade to four berth.

He is formula fed so we need to take steriiser etc.

How baby friendly are campsites he doesnt cry much but i am concious of disturbing people.

Camp sites are very people friendly and dont worry, everybody has taken a baby on a camp site at some stage. If anything its not the babies that are the issue its the sound of children play that irritates some but not all. Ours have been going since they were both approx 6 weeks old and we have gone from trailer tent to caravan and never had any problems and both were bottle fed. A bit of muck never hurt anyone.

Dont worry and just enjoy, we do use mainly CC site as we are also members and there toddler room more that make it adequate for babies.

i think this is a case of "you never know until you try". I have taken my children many times, the first time we went my daughter was 3 months old. Other than her keeping us awake by wrigglnig all night the experience was uneventful.
Best advice i can give is for you to ring ahead to the site and advise you are bringing a baby so they know you are coming and you can always ask about the facilities and ensure they meet your requirements.
Eevryone is different and as far as i was concerned as long as i had heating and water its all good
Good luck

We took our 6 month old twins away in the caravan and had no problems at all. They slept well without too much crying! Back then we used to take the microwave to re heat the bottles ( all 12 of them) and the microwave steamer was a godsend.Providing you can live with the extra gear (we had a travel cot for outside playing,two buggies etc.) you should be fine.

Hi, our first van was a 2 berth and we went away with our son as a baby, we set the bed up and put a bed guard up between us and our baby,,,it was all fine and he is now 12 years old.

 

You can try it out and see how you get on: have a great time!

Our first van was a two berth and there's three of us, our son used to sleep in the middle, and when he got older we then changed the van. You've got a few good years of that van for a bit :)

Congratulations on your new baby.

We're taking ours away in 3 weeks which I've never done but I can't wait.

Our inlaws took my youngest him away in their 2 berth, they used a travel cot for him to sleep in at night and play in he awning, take a microwave to use sterilising bags or a microwave steriliser.

The travel cot make moving around the van at night challenging but it's not impossible, in the morning if he was still asleep they picked him up and put him on the bed whilst most other things got tidyed away.

We have a 2 berth and take the granddaughter (11). We have also met many couples in 2 berths with their babies. All had great times.
