the shinin
I love to participate in my child's school, and her teacher wants me (and I also want) to be room mom, but I explained how I am "limited" on what I can do since I have an 8 month old as well to take care of, (I breastfeed to, so having him on a schedule isn't an option). My child's also in 1st grade..Any suggestions to be really involved? thanks!
Answer
Bring your baby along in a sling.
My breastfed babies have been so portable! When they're that young, they're not yet into things. I have taken them everywhere with me at that age, either in my sling or in my Ergo backpack carrier. When they fussed, I simply nursed them.
There's no need to pub your baby on a schedule. You are wise to realize this. (Can an 8-month-old tell time? No. They need what they need when they need it.) There's also no need to express milk and leave the baby.
I'm a bit of a germ freak. Someone mentioned not taking your baby at all because of germs, but there are things you can do. Hold your baby in your arms or a carrier. Set a ground rule about children not touching your baby's hands or mouth, and you're all set. Besides, if there's something out there, your older child is bringing it home from school anyway. And what a bonus that your milk is protecting your baby with your immunities!

What would I need to bring on a camping trip with a newborn?

Every year my husband and I go camping with friends and family for a weekend July. This year it will be a little different now that we'll have a 5 week old baby with us. I just want to make sure I pack everything I'll need for her.
Answer
A mosquito net for her. A collapsible playpen for the tent. Those car seat carriers are perfect for toting a newborn around and you can easily keep her next to you with a mosquito net around it. Also if you are familiar with using a baby sling (the sarong looking thing you wear around yourself to carry the baby) I always found them invaluable to me, but you must use caution that your baby's mouth and nose do not become obstructed. Plenty of bottled water, extra gas for the stove cause if she's on the bottle those things need to be sterilized. Extra cloths, for when she spits up and needs changed. You must keep her and her area extra clean, so you don't attract ants. It's really not anymore difficult to take care of an infant while camping than it is at home. Frankly the most important thing they need is YOU. Just make a list of everything she normally needs on a daily basis and check off that you have everything before you go. And pack an extra set of everything that's baby essential, blankets, bo bo, nipples, bottles and cloths. I'm assuming you don't mean rustic camping, there is just no way to carry all you need on a backpack camping trip with an infant!
