Camping essentials with a baby.

[Ponderfully]

We are going camping next week with our 10 month old. What did you bring with you that you found useful? We'll have an electric hook-up.

Definitely get an all-in-one waterproof puddle suit so they can crawl around on damp grass.
A large bucket or plastic baby bath.
If you’re worried about it getting too hot in your tent during nap times, cover your tent with one of those huge emergency foil space blankets (shiny side up).
Positioning the door of your tent towards the wind will allow it to blow into your tent.
Try to pitch it where the shade will be in the afternoon. (most smartphones come with a compass, just remember the sun rises in the east so as you look west from behind the large tent and that’s your spot!).
Check the ground around your tent when you pitch it for any sharp objects or rubbish that may have been left by previous campers. We once found DS with a beer bottle top in his fist.
Pick up a cheap battery powered hand-held fan.
Windbreaks aren't just for blocking out the wind (though as the name suggests, they're very good at it) they're also an ideal way to baby proof the area around your tent!
The first time we went, we forgot to pack the high chair. It’s so useful!
Make sure to bring a big pot to boil water (or use Milton tablets) if you need to sterilise bottles or other baby paraphernalia. I used a silicone bib for meal times as they are so easy to clean with just a wipe.
Consider parking the car in an accessible spot if a quick drive round the block is necessary to calm a crying child.
Don’t forget a battery-operated nightlight and head torch for nappy changes and night feeds.

Something to keep it dark for longer. It's light very early in my tent.

An old buggy!
Old clothes.
Mitts for night time.

Brilliant thanks so much, I have some emergency blankets, I also have a gro anywhere travel blind. Would that be any good? Was going to bring his mama's and papas snug seat but his high chair will probably be more useful. Will look up rain gear now. Thanks again.
