Camping with Infants
Friday June 13, 2008
Have you ever taken an infant camping? How young do you think is too young? Many parents think it is never too soon to expose children to the wonders of the outdoors. Experienced parents say this about camping with infants:
"We have always taken our babies camping." ~ pastorerik
"We camp with three boys, the youngest is 2, and we started taking him around 20 months old." ~ captivaa
"We took our son camping starting at age 6 months." ~ Pattysweet8
"Had I known how easy it was to camp with a 5-month-old when my oldest was that little, my husband and I would have gotten back to one of our favorite activities a lot sooner." ~ YolandaSW
"My children are now grown and camping with kids of their own." ~ little4bear
"We have always taken our kid camping. As an infant, it didn't seem too bad. With 1-2 year olds, it was a little harder." ~ pogchop
"Don't be afraid to take your little one. My baby is now 13, and he has tent camped every year of his life." ~ catlinn
when going camping never go without mosquito repellent and now i have found a real good repellent that is Deet Free with no citronella i got it at http://www.crocodile-insectrepellent.com i use it on all my children and it works great.
We took our 5 week old camping. She’s our second daughter and we didn’t want to miss out on camping. I regret taking her a little because it was so hot and nursing a baby in the heat is uncomfortable.
we took our oldest grandson camping when he was three weeks old, he turns 16 in july, he still loves camping as much as his brother who is 5
Wer just got back from the beach with our two grand children they are one and three.We had a great time but they are at that age alot of work ,we have a 35 ft motorhome. They love camping we started them both at under a year old.
We have taken my 3 childen camping since they were infants. My daughter was only 3 weeks old when we took her in a tent! She learned how to walk in a camp ground 27 years ago. We just came back this weekend from camping with my boys & my grandson who’s 4 & my 1 year old grandaughter but we now have a trailer.
I have two kids my one now is 17 and she has benn tent camping all her life, my son now 2 has experienced tent camping now we have an RV. Never too young to experience nature.
NO why would you? We camp to party and relax so why would you bring kids with you?
We have always taken our children camping and now our grandaughter. Our youngest was 3 weeks old and we had a great time. It is never too young to start them camping.
