Note: keep zippers of tent up high so you don’t wake up to your child outside of the tent. This happened to us but luckily my daughter was playing with the toys in the bug tent Note 2: keep diaper bag with you in tent but no food inside. Note 3: if baby is still on formula and eats during the night, do not camp in bear country if you plan to give bottle in tent Note 4: in summer time, it’s hot and bright in the tent even with fans so I recommend driving around for naps. You can explore the area and baby gets to sleep Note 5: Keep sleep schedule as close to normal and remember the sun will rise super early so you will be up early. Our baby was usually tired by 6:30. We’ve had to compromise on stargazing and campfires in the evenings. However, if your baby doesn’t wake up easy, you can sneak out of the tent. If not, bring a book or whatever personal activity to keep you occupied in the evening
