Travelling with a newborn baby can be an adventure in itself. Aside from being out of your comfort zone, there’s a whole load of paraphernalia that comes with a baby that you suddenly need to think about. But, fear not, a little planning and thought can make it much easier to get away and enjoy yourself when you’re away

How to get your baby to sleep in a portacot

If you’re planning on travelling with your baby or are leaving them in the care of a relative / friend, you may be worried about how they’ll sleep away from home. After all, everyone knows a baby who doesn’t sleep well is generally not a happy baby. Here’s a few tips on how to get your baby sleeping like a champ in their portacot.

Camping with a Baby

I’ve camped all my life - from 6 months old, apparently. We’ve also kept up a strong family history of camping, often going away for 2-3 weeks with extended family. We like to camp in remote locations, with little in the way of facilities…the best locations are usually DOC camps or those in the middle of nowhere. Read more about camping with a baby.

Safety Guides

Avoid Overheating with your Baby

It is important to be well informed about overheating, so you can resist the poor advice and unsafe examples you'll see on social media. For example, bonnets look cute on Instagram babies but hats on sleeping babies are a real risk factor for overheating.
