20 GENERAL CAMPING: what i am wondering is what helpful hints or hard lessons did you learn to make camping trips with your infant more enjoyable?

We took Jake camping at 10 weeks. Not just camping, but to the
Strawberry Music Festival where we were camping with literally
thousands of other people. It worked out just fine! We were
complimented that he was much quieter than some other older babies
camping nearby. We did /not/ see very much music though.

What I'd recommend most is a mosquito net for the porta-crib, so
you can spend some time outside the tent. (Babies can't wear
mosquito repellant, and they are yummy tender morsels for bugs.)
And if you're breastfeeding, maybe someone could think of a way
to keep mosquitos off both of you while doing that. I just kept
going back into the tent.
