We're going camping this weekend for 2 nights and I'm a bit anxious. Last time we went camping he was only 5 months and if he was disturbed I'd just stick him on the breast and we all got some sleep! This time I'm concerned because my son is very accustomed to his own bed, and own bedroom, and I'm worried if it'll be too noisy for him - he's quite sensitive to noise when he sleeps (outside of the ordinary household noises). Also, I've recently weaned my son off the breast and now bottles, and he's now onto sippy cups. So I don't have that night-time backup of sticking him on the breast or giving him a bottle to calm him down if he wakes up, which is what I used to resort to if I had to. We recently had him sleep in our room in his portacot because we had friends staying over... and our rolling around, snoring, and my partner sneezing woke him up and he didn't get back to sleep for almost 3 hours... so I don't want a repeat of that. He's been sleeping through since he was 7 months and is a fantastic sleeper otherwise. Any tips on if he does wake up? Or minimizing zip noise?
Dad to Three - going camping without him isn't an option for us really, since we want to start going more regularly and turn our baby into a camping baby!! I think it will still be more fun than work, and hopefully your advice won't be needed, but thankyou for the input anyway : )
