Sorry about that, I meant "dry-run" as a trial run with using your sns and formula without using any electricity (microwave/stove/dishwasher/refridgerator).

No problem and thanks for the idea it's great, I'll have to try it with dh !!!

Not at all, I'll have to get those for my baby, that's such a great idea and the more protected they're from bugs while camping the happier we'll be lol.

I'm sorry but I don't know what that is. I wasn't trying to be rude to her, I just didn't know. For me camping with a baby is easy-peasy.

My bil's wife has lied to me before and mil went along with it. They've done things without me knowing it and knew it would hurt me in the end. ....

Do not go on a vacation with these people. Especially do not go on a vacation where you will be at all uncomfortable. Invite them to tea and cookies the following week where they can tell you about their lovely trip which you hope they'll have.

Camping with people you love can be tough. Going on vacation with people you dislike is unpleasant. You do not need the aggravation that would result from a camping trip with people you dislike.

i apologize - I thought everyone would know what an SNS is - its a Supplemental Nursing system. you attach it a tube to your breast thatt has a bag of formula or breastmilk on the other end, and the baby nuirses with that tube on your nipple. It may sound like no big deal, but it's definitely more complicated than bottles. really, i think any kind of nursing issue would make campling very difficult.
