Thanks for the awesome info guys! And you're right T Rex, it could take us awhile as the first time took quite some time and we ended up using clomid so I might just be heavily preggy instead! lol]]> Sun, 08 Jan 2012 08:57:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41232&PID=1420922&title=would-you-take-a-newborn-camping#1420922 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41232&PID=1420447&title=would-you-take-a-newborn-camping#1420447 Author: InthemiddleMummy

I had a c/s and took baby camping at 10wks wouldnt have handled it earlier than 7wks old I reckon, just with the packing up & down to the toilet block etc quite physical is camping, and also wouldnt want to go with a baby waking more than once a night.

It went fine we have a campervan and took off the cushion on the booth seat that folds down to the bed and put basinette on there so he slept hovering above our feet (I gues it depends on type of basinette you have to weather you can do this. Also Took Miss 5 and Miss3 camping. the first night he woke at 4am didnt wake the girls, rest the nights he slept thru. We are heading away again tomorrow, its been fun.

We took pram and front pack, during day he slept mostly in pram, i never used the front pack.

for wiping bottom I used a thermos to warm up the wipes dip them in the cup part. disposable change mats a rip of but essential, trying to think of other tips.]]> Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:10:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41232&PID=1420447&title=would-you-take-a-newborn-camping#1420447 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41232&PID=1420209&title=would-you-take-a-newborn-camping#1420209 Author: T_Rex

I probably could have coped with a newborn, but after my first baby, I wasn't up to much physically at least 6-8 weeks after birth, due to the trauma to my delicate bits! TMI but I got a nasty infection in my episiotomy that was so painful I could barely walk. Not to mention I bled heavily for the first 6 weeks which wouldn't have been fun when camping either. Just something else to consider.

But I'd just go ahead and see what happens. You never know how long TTC will take anyway. And if you end up cancelling your holiday, what better reason than a gorgeous new baby?]]> Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:49:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41232&PID=1420209&title=would-you-take-a-newborn-camping#1420209 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41232&PID=1420198&title=would-you-take-a-newborn-camping#1420198 Author: peachy

Yep we took DD1 camping at 7 weeks old. Was easy peasy, she slept wonderfully too.]]> Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:28:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41232&PID=1420198&title=would-you-take-a-newborn-camping#1420198 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41232&PID=1419962&title=would-you-take-a-newborn-camping#1419962 Author: Pepi-bebe

Haha, yep none of us replied eh? My lack of response was out of inexperience. However, I bet all 100 of us would like to know how it went!]]> Tue, 03 Jan 2012 22:33:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41232&PID=1419962&title=would-you-take-a-newborn-camping#1419962 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41232&PID=1419813&title=would-you-take-a-newborn-camping#1419813 Author: blondie_2010

Nah you're not crazy - much easier with a little baby than a toddler I tell ya! We did a 2 week road trip with a 3 day old baby after the Feb earthquakes and it was fine! it would be harder if you're bottle feeding, but breastfeed babies don't need much at all... we take the kids camping every year, they LOVE it! so may as well start them young lol]]> Tue, 27 Dec 2011 19:17:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41232&PID=1418474&title=would-you-take-a-newborn-camping#1418474 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41232&PID=1418454&title=would-you-take-a-newborn-camping#1418454 Author: blondie_2010

Hi there,

Not sure if this is in the right section but we are planning our next baby and we have a camping trip already booked for next Xmas/NY holiday...if everything goes to plan we would have a newborn...are we crazy considering this? Has anyone gone camping with a baby under 2 months successfully?

Thanks in advance :)]]> Tue, 27 Dec 2011 16:32:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41232&PID=1418454&title=would-you-take-a-newborn-camping#1418454
