I know there's been a few threads about camping with babies, and I've enjoyed all the great advice, and am really looking forward to our camping trip next week.
What I'm worried about is napping. Almost 14 mo dd usually naps about 2.5-3 hours in the afternoon. If we're at home, she usually goes down around 1:00. If we're out though at a friends, playground, museum, doing errands, etc.,she'll stay up until we get in the car to come home (even if it's 4:00
).
Anybody have any good camping stories? When did your baby sleep? Where? For how long? Did you and baby miss out on any of the family activities because you were back at the campsite napping? Dd won't nap even if I nurse her on a friend's bed after lunch. She'll be cranky, yawning, rubbing her eyes, nurse herself almost to sleep - then she's done, and bounces up again bright eyed and bushy tailed until we head home. I'm afraid we'll have 5 days of one or two 15-20 minute car naps each day, and I'll have a bear of a baby for a week after we return (if not toward the end of the trip as well....).
