Re: Any advice camping with 11mo?
Take lots of clothing for layering, let them get dirty, take some new toys that can get dirty and easy to wash or throw away, wipes are your new best friend.
At night, I dress Emme in 3-4 layers: onesie, leggings/tights, socks, and 2 footed sleepers. That keeps her toasty at night since she doesn't sleep with blankets. Also, we take her wagon with it. It helps to unpack the truck, and it great for toting her around even when she can walk. She loves to ride in it. It is also useful for taking to the showers.
This is my advice exactly. Plus closed shoes, socks, beanie/hat for the night if it gets cold. Know that most toys you bring will be very dirty after and will need to be washed or even tossed. Also dont forget baby sunscreen, bug repellant and whatever will make her feel secure and sleep well, it can get scary for them when night falls and everything is dark out. if you do sippy cups or bottles (or pacifiers even) it helps to have lots of extra -- of if a stove is available then bring a pot to boil water and clean them in.
hope that helps! have fun!
They all gave great advice. We have gone camping twice with dd. she was 21 months this last time and 11 months the first time. How good is she walking? DD wasn't full on walking yet and ended up in a pack n play for a good portion of the day the first time. We had toys in there and she had fun watching everyone. My whole family was there so they helped out with holding her and playing with her. We also laid out a really large cloth tarp ( like a painting tarp from lowes/home depot lol) with an umbrella for shade to put her toys so she didn't have to stay in the pack n play.
A good thing to do, depending on how long you will be there is to section out her toys. That way each day she will have a new set to play with and won't get bored.
GL and have fun!
