She'll be 7-8 months and I would like to bring her to the beach with me. Any tips for bringing an infant to the beach? What should I bring to make the trip easier? Other than the obvious things like baby sun screen and a blanket and umbrella? I want her to have a good time and I want to not spend the afternoon feeling frazzled.
Answer
they have them little tents that are mostly screened in that seem pretty convenient to me. the baby can sit in them out of the sun but still see out and feel the sea breeze!

Hey moms! Going to the beach this August with my daughter who will be 1 yr old. I'm fretting about the 4 hr ride, the sun, the water, the bugs and of course her eating the sand! Do you have any tips to share on how to make our trip to the beach easier? Thanks in advance!
I just wanted to thank everyone for their advice... all great. I wrote down a bunch of tips, went to walmart, and feel better all ready!
Answer
Take plenty of sunscreen, a hat, and some good beach clothes (light, cotton outfits are good). Pack some swimmer nappies (diapers) if you plan on going in the water.
Some beach toys are a good idea, they don't need to be huge or expensive. A small plastic bucket and spade set, some little plastic cups, a ball ... just simple things she can use to play with in the sand.
A good sized beach towel and some changes of clothing are a must! You won't believe how much sand gets everywhere.
A really good tip I learned is to pack a bottle of talcum powder. Sand sticks to skin and your baby will very likely be coated in it if she's anything like my little boy! Rubbing that sand off can be harsh on delicate baby skin and they wiggle and get upset and cry. This is where talcum powder comes in. For whatever reason, talcum powder particles stick to sand particles. Dust talc on the sandy areas and then gently wipe away, the sand comes away with no rubbing or brushing and - most importantly - no tears. I always have talc in my bag now when we go to the beach.
If you're taking your pushchair then have a sunshade for it to shade it when baby goes to sleep or pack a small play tent (you can get special UV-safe ones) that she can play in or sleep in.
Don't worry about her eating sand, some kids do. My son was eating double handfuls of the stuff on purpose and then accidentally ate more when he face-planted into it. It passes through with no ill effects, I promise. Just take plenty of drinks for her to wash it down lol.
Have a great trip!
