Some of the most enjoyable & memorable times I have of summer, involve trips to the beach. Simply don a pair of flip flops (jandels or thongs), grab a beach towel, sarong, bottle of water, sunscreen, hat & mag and you're ready. Of course the swimming cozzy is a must...Add a baby & things change a little. Why?
You tend not to rush out of the house in 2 minutes flat with a friend anticipating your entry into the passenger seat of the car. Instead, now your friend is meeting you at the beach, so that there is enough room for the family & the house in the family wagon. Just kidding, the aim here, is to leave the house & its belongings in place.
Pack your baby & baby beach essentials:
- Hat
- Sunscreen (age dependent, check with your pharmacy)
- Protective covers (muslin wraps work a treat, they are cool, light & generally white)
- Sunglasses (baby banz might work for you http://www.babybanz.com/)
- Light clothing (organic cotton etc)
- Shade (umbrella, sunshade etc)
- Towel
- Nappy Bag
- Baby cozzy (if that is your preference)
TIP
Stock your nappy bag based on time dependency I.e. the number of nappies you take will depend on the length of time you plan on spending away from home, + 1, just in case & so on.Any questions, feel free to comment. Alternatively, please answer these questions.
What did you pack when you took baby out on his/her first outing to the beach? & What changed for repeat visits?
In closing, I'd love to see some fan pics on my NewBawn page, check out http://bit.ly/c18iPg
Cheers & happy adventures,
