I Have taken all 4 of mine from as early as newborn and I breastfeed they all have done great but If your not comfortable dont do it! I wouldn’t do anything I wasnt comfortable with
my son did great at his first time camping he was 4 months old nd breastfeeding. however if ur uncomfortable, dont go.
Go. Have fun! I took mine around that age. It got cold and he slept in his carseat nice and toasty!
Yes. It’s totally safe lol.
Yes i took my son last year he was only 5 months we had a blast i would take some netting to cover his playpen or carseat, stroller or whatever for rhe bugs at night
We camp atleast 4 times a summer I have 4 kids all started camping as newborns now age 17,12,9 and 17 months
Yes, have fun. Make a smore & drink a glass of wine.
If you dont want to go trust your gut, most importantly with you stressing over it can interfere with milk production.
Don’t go if you don’t think it would be a good time. I would talk to your husband about how you feel.
Leave your options open. If child doesnt adapt go home. Take two cars if you have too
Say no. You will be miserable. Especially if it’s your first time. It’s way too hot and if he doesn’t nap in strange places… then you will be up with a crying baby the whole time. 
Don’t let your family pressure you like that. Been there.
My daughter was 7 days old and we took her, I breastfed also and everything was great, best way to recover
But it also could be really hot and baby not like it. But that’s why I said bring your own car, cause then if you feel like you should go or you get uncomfortable then you can always just go back home! 
And your husband can’t say that you didn’t give it a try
Camping is fine at any age, just go prepared. But if your uncomfortable going, then dont go. Talk to your husband about your concerns. He shld be understanding and tell his family maybe another time when the baby is a bit older and more familiar.

Why not?Age don’t matter,enjoy yourself and who cares about little things.
Your son will be fine camping. I’d be more concerned about him potentially growing up to be an asshole like the men in his family. Adults don’t throw tantrums when a baby cries. That’s abnormal. Blink twice if you need help.
Camping is fine! Breastfeeding is good I found my one son slept better camping than at home but didn’t wake during the night.
No that just sound fuckin awful. But I never did like camping so 
Depends on the type of camping. No running water? No toilets? Sleeping on the ground in tents or out in sleeping bags under the stars? In a remote place or in a campground with other families? Or is it camping in an RV or pop up camper or something in between?
Is baby allergic to anything (pollen, bee stings, grass?) If you go hiking, who straps on the baby (and diapers, wipes, changing pad) as extra weight? What do you do with the dirty diapers? Are trails steep & rocky or paved and flat? How are you with making campfire coffee, keeping food in a bag on a rope high in a tree to keep it from bears, not bathing, sleeping in sleeping bags or using latrines? Anyone allergic to poison ivy? Will you be swimming in a lake? How polluted or pristine?
If you don’t want to go this time, beg off saying you’re worried baby hasn’t developed enough immunities yet & you’re worried about Lyme disease.*
If it’s more like glamping & you’ll have access to clean, potable water, maybe showers & toilets, and following well marked & established trails, and/or going boating, your choice if you want to go. Depending where you live it can be peaceful in nature, you can see the stars at night, hear the birds, frogs, and owls & maybe coyotes at night, enjoy waterfalls and incredible views. Baby will be fascinated with the flora, fauna, new sights and sounds while enjoying the family right there.
*Always a good idea to have long sleeves, long pants tucked into hiking socks, and hats or bandanas to protect from ticks & mosquitoes (including at night if you sleep outside). Do body checks of each other including scalps at home after to be sure no one has any ticks (magnifying glass can be helpful).
Either way, have fun with baby!
Screw that. He can go. Stay home!! I hate camping anyway. Lol
Dont go, sounds like a trap for you to have a horrible time, your husband should think about the experience you would have than the experience he would have before inviting you

You could definitely do it but if you don’t feel comfortable doing it then don’t… I wouldn’t be fuckin going 
We went camping with our 2 month old, but we camp every year and are pretty used to it. Baby will most likely sleep more due to the sun and fresh air, but you can’t predict what will happen. Make sure you drive separately so that you can head back early if you don’t want to be around your annoying FIL who doesn’t understand that babies cry.

Heck no!!! I would never.
I wouldn’t go this year. If your son won’t sleep other places it will be a nightmare. Work on getting your son to sleep in places other than his usual spot for the next trip. Set up a small tent and try to sleep in it on the floor at home one night to show your SO what this year might look like. It might be hot and that will stop a baby sleeping too.
I took my youngest camping when he was 3 and 4 months old. It actually wasn’t too bad and we had extra family with us so he was almost always held by someone!
Go have fun I did with both my kids!!! Bugs can’t detects baby’s anyways because they don’t have a sent like we do! I know sounds crazy but true! 
took my daughter when she was 2 months old after her shots and she loved it
Camp? Like in a tent? NO!! You and baby will be miserable. If a cabin, that works. Tent camping is very uncomfortable!
