Plus she doesn't do great sleeping in new places so routine helps. I'm not opposed to skipping bath once in awhile (we did tonight) but there I think its for the best.</p> <p>@Honeybee: my lo would never just sit there. They do have a little private changing area.... but shed crawl right out under the door! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296800 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 19:22:01 +0000 blackbird 296800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They use baby wipes in the military. Or you could just give her a sponge bath? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296707 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 16:32:10 +0000 Honeybee 296707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wrap dd up and have her sit on the bench while I get dressed. Its nice when each shower has a private changing room attached; if its a communal changing room I usually go fast so fewer people see me naked., :-) oh and if I dont get to wash myself in the shower because DD is too antsy to leave, I go back after she has gone to sleep for the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296653 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 14:55:33 +0000 woodentulip 296653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to say it...I totally wouldn't bother. Eeeep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296610 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 13:54:21 +0000 Andrea 296610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would bring your regular little tub unless you want to buy the inflatable one that Mrs. Bee mentioned. We used the same one for a while. It is from One Step Ahead and will definitely fit your LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296494 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 11:34:29 +0000 heffalump 296494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: We are camping at Disney and the bathrooms are very clean, but I still wear shoes and would keep flip flops on LO too if she were walking by then. I thought about a bath at the campsite but the bugs come out at night so I want to do the bath inside. And I want to do the bath before bed to keep up with her normal routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296490 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 11:28:00 +0000 BoogieBea 296490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Inflatable tub sounds like a good idea. We've only gone camping for one night at a time. There's no shower facilities so we just don't shower. It gets too cold at night here to be showering outdoors. We do have a camping shower that we use to wipe ourselves though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296475 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 11:12:36 +0000 prettylizy 296475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know what your campsites are like, but the showers everywhere I've ever camped are gross and I always wear shoes, so I wouldn't put LO down. I would likely just bring her tub (or an inflatable one) and wash her right at our campsite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296452 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 10:47:34 +0000 heffalump 296452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO actually takes a bath now in a little plastic tub that we put inside her big tub. Maybe I'll just bring that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296406 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 09:47:19 +0000 KT326 296406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: ooh ya that makes things more difficult! I think the inflatable tub is a great idea. I'll have to remember that next time we go camping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296313 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 06:27:26 +0000 Mrs. Bee 296313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: i don't think so. Even Charlie fits in ours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296312 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 06:23:01 +0000 heffalump 296312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetkate: there are only men's and women's bathrooms so we have to separate. </p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: I thought about that, but my lo is pretty big now. She's. 25 pounds. Is she too big for that do you think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296124 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 21:31:20 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 296124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't been camping per se, but we have stayed in little guest houses with only a basic shower. We did exactly what you described: I showered with LO in my arms then handed him off to DH who had a towel ready. We've also taken an inflatable pool with us when we had more forethought, that made it really easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296107 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 21:08:35 +0000 Mrs. Bee 296107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you could take an inflatable tub? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296103 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 20:58:01 +0000 KT326 296103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was only three months old the first time we took him camping. Luckily the shower was big enough for all of us so we just all showered together and traded off holding him when we were done. If that won't work maybe bring an extra towel and sit her on that when you are done? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-do-baths-while-camping#post-296095 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 20:37:40 +0000 heffalump 296095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo will be 15 months when we go camping in a month. She's not walking yet..... but she might be by then, I just don't know. If she is I could just bring her in he shower with me and then set her down for a second when I get dressed really quick. If she's not walking yet I'm not so sure what to do with her when I get dressed. Just shower in my swim suit and then bring her out to dh to deal with while I get dressed?</p> <p>What do you do? </p>
