essentials for taking a crawling 10 month old to the beach?

V

Answer
Oh goodness I am actually taking my 5 month old to the beach. There is this really awesome sun block, it's called baby banz it is twice as water proof as regular sunblocks. I would take a sun hat, baby sunglasses, a beach umbrella or shelter if you don't know offbeat will be a shaded area for you, a blanket or towel to put on the ground for you baby, water proof diapers, floaties, swimming suit, and some toys. Good luck and have fun!!'

How do I keep baby out of the sun at the beach?

Sara S

Now that the baby summer stuff is going up for sale on ebay and local sales, I started thinking about the coming up summer (sigh). My baby is 4 months right now, and I've purchased a rash gaurd and baby sunscreen already, but I'm wondering if anyone out there knows of any great products that can help me keep the direct sun and bugs off of him when we go to thebeach this summer (we go alot, and I'm looking forward to getting outside with the baby) Or if you have any hints on bringing a baby to the beach, I'd appreciate them. I've seen little domed screen things that you can zip the baby in, they're kind of like a small play pen, but I think mine will be too big by the summer time.

I know I could get an umbrella, but that's not really doable in my area, they don't allow them on most beaches, and the shaded spots always fill up right away. I'm just thinking about all the new hazards (sand in eyes, sunburn, other kids, ahhhh can't wait)

I appreciate any advice from other parents, I will do a best answer as long as no one says "bring an umbrella" JK

Answer
Can you get a popup shelter? This may sound silly, but they have them for pets. It folds flat but then pops up into a cube. It might take some fiddling but you could cut the fabric on the sides so you can get to him but keep the top intact for shade. They're nylon so they're pretty sand and moisture proof.
Just found one for babies, here's the link to one on eBay so you can see it. http://cgi.ebay.com/Sun-Smarties-Infant-Beach-Cabana-Tent-GREAT-CONDITION_W0QQitemZ120378916326QQihZ002QQcategoryZ117033QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
What do they allow on your beaches? Could you use two chairs and drape a beach towel between them as long as his fingers didn't get pinched.
The only other thing I'd suggest is make sure he keeps a hat on to shade his eyes.
Hope your little guy has fun.

What types of breeds can be kept outside? And what should I provide when I put them outside?

best beach shelter for babies image

: )

I am going to get a dog, and would like to know, what I should do. It is going to live outside. (execpt when we travel to the beach on weekends in that case it will stay inside) we have 2 small children. (one child should be coming in a week or so!) We would be getting the dog around Christmas. But just wanted to know what I should provide for the dog when putting it outside? And what types of breeds are good for this? And I am not getting it from a shelter.

Answer
Third time, same answer:

Keeping a dog outside is not the best situation. Dogs are social, pack animals and thrive on human interaction. Leaving one outside all the time is unacceptable... why bother having a dog at all? And the comment about leaving the dog inside while you go to the beach? Am I understanding correctly that you are planning to leave the dog home alone while you go to the beach, or am I misreading that?

Plus, with you expecting a baby, this is not the best time to bring a puppy into the home. Too much going on- will you really have time to train a puppy AND a baby?

My suggestion to you is to wait at least a couple of years. And even then... if you still feel the need to keep the dog outside... don't bother.
