Camping... 55 degrees...?

Just checked the weather. Says it's going to be 55 in the middle of the night. Too cold for tent camping with a baby? Thoughts?

    I did it with my dog when he was a puppy and it got down to 40, and he was in a crate. He is also a dog who has hair not fur. I ended up putting a blanket on him...he's still kicking now! I'm just saying. You don't really have to use this as comparison. :)

    Not too cold as long as baby is snuggeled up!  Just layer onesie under pj's and double layer if needed.  Have fun!  I love camping, well should say used to as I haven't done it in a few years.

    If you can safely sleeping-bag-share, your body heat will keep LO warm. Although I don't know what safe sleeping-bag-sharing looks like.

    I don't trust myself bed sharing at home let alone on an air mattress so we plan on using the pnp. I'm still lounging around the house though... no motivation...

    I really wanted to go camping this year, but we decided not to for this reason. We went last year, and I had 2 sweatshirts and 2 comforters and I was still cold.

    We decided against it. Too much work to even enjoy it. Mainly because my dog becomes an asshole the minute we enter the campground

    We went camping last month and it was 50 when we woke up at 6:30 so maybe even cold in the middle of the night. Colton loved it. He wore a zip up fleece footie pj and we sleeping bag shared. Actually he was a terrible sharer. He slept in the sleeping bag (at his waist) and I hung out in the cold next to him, lol. He wasn't rolling over at the time so I wasn't worried.

    You guys are troopers that tent camp in the cold.  We have a camper and it was really chilly (in the high 40's I think) but we didn't know we needed both electric and propane to turn on the furnace so we just froze that first night, but like I said, in a camper with a bed and blankets.  Though we do have a cool gel mattress topper so that didn't help....felt like we were sleeping in a cold wet bed.

    Hi! I don't post on here often, but I've taken my baby camping twice so far and we really like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003FZPD1I?pc_redir=1408173037&robot_redir=1

    We took her to Mammoth, Ca and it was about 50 degrees. We put her in a long sleeved onesie, a fleece sleeper, socks, and this little sleeping bag. She slept great. It does seem to run big. My girl is 14.5 pounds and the 6-18month option seemed to be too big for her (but I am paranoid). I think it's great that people are taking their babies camping!

    Was going to recommend that same sleep sack! We've had good luck with it.
