Camping

JLMcWeeney · September 2013

I would like to take my one month old camping, but I'm a little apprehensive. It won't be too hot. We will be staying in an RV. I think I am mainly worried about Mosquitos. I love in Oklahoma, and they are BAD this year. I don't know what to do to prevent bites. I read repellent can't be used until they are two months.
If anyone has advice or tips on keeping bugs at bay or just camping in general with a one month old it is greatly appreciated!

I purchased bug/sun nets for a bassinet and portable crib. I live in the NW and plan to take baby camping.

I'd try essential oils on your self before relying on them and also check on the safety of applying tea tree and citronella directly to baby's skin. Essential oils are insufficient to repel mosquitoes up here in the NW.
