Hike with the child. What do I need to know?

With the onset of pores of vacations, we begin to wonder how we can spend our free time. Some parents plan a trip to the sea or to the country, outside the city, and only a few decide to go camping with the child.

For some reason, it is believed that such a holiday will bring a lot of trouble, although in fact, if everything is properly planned, then you can get the most pleasure. And your future traveler will have a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with wildlife.

It is necessary to grow a little more

If the baby is a baby or at the age of up to two years, then there may be some difficulties, so organizing such a trip with children on nature should be more thoughtful. The first thing that should be on the list is food.

If the baby is breastfed, this is very good, otherwise you will have to take milk formulas, instant cereals, fruit and meat purees in jars. Do not forget about bottles that need to be washed and sterilized.

Further it is necessary to think about how the child will overcome the path: perhaps it will be either kangaroo, or sling, or ergoryukzak. Be sure to bring along a couple of your favorite toys and rattles, also need to think over leisure options, if there is bad weather. Of course, it is very good to go camping with a child with several families, it will be easier for adults and more fun for kids.

And yet, before you go with a baby on a trip, you should know that such a rest will bring a lot of trouble to parents, because you have to pay a lot of attention to the child, and often will not be at all to the beauty of the surrounding nature!

Young tourists

From the age of two, you can begin to teach your child to travel. To begin with, such a trip with a child to nature should not exceed two to three days. It is worth considering that a small fidget will not be long to travel in the transport or at the daddy on the shoulders, so you will often have to do halts, giving him the opportunity to relax, run, jump.

The curiosity of a young tourist at such an age will force mom and dad to follow it closely to exclude the possibility of unplanned events, including the risk of climbing into a fire, running into the forest, entering the water.

Since three years you can go on foot with your child. But do not forget that at this age, children quickly get tired. Therefore, you need to alternate half an hour's journey and the same amount of rest to have a bite, play games, pick berries and mushrooms, enjoy the beauty of the forest.

Since the age of five, the behavior in the children's campaign has become more conscious, they are responsibly concerned with what is happening. Young tourists can take part in the placement of tents and other equipment, help to collect firewood for the fire, together with adults to keep watch on the camp.

It is worth noting that from this age a hiking trip with children will be a joy to all.

We collect the first aid kit correctly

So, we looked at the features of different ages. Now you should pay attention to collecting the necessary things. Of course, it is impossible to foresee everything, but let's try to highlight the most necessary.

First of all, we prepare a birth certificate for a child and do not forget about the compulsory health insurance policy (I want it not to be useful, but just in case it's worth taking).

It is with special responsibility to approach the collection of medicines. It must be remembered that there are no pharmacies in the campaign, so we carefully think over everything at home. First of all, we put the drugs that are needed if the child has some kind of chronic illness.

Do not forget about antipyretics, antiseptics (zelenka or iodine will do better in vials). It will not be superfluous and sunscreen. Also do not exclude the option of an intestinal disorder and pain in the tummy. Choose a medicine suitable for your child's age. For example, the following drugs are suitable: "Regidron", "Smecta", "Nifuroxazide". We take adhesive plasters, cotton wool and bandages (wounds, scratches on the nature can not be avoided).

In no way can do without a summer hike without means of protection from insects. Be sure to take baby creams, spray, a special ointment or gel, which reduces itching with bites of different insects, mosquitoes. If you forgot to take such a tool, you can independently prepare a solution of soda with water and lubricate the irritated places on the body.

Choosing a wardrobe

The weather is unpredictable. When choosing camping clothes for a child, do not forget that it is better to give preference to natural tissues. Also it is worthwhile to know that the best heat insulator will be several layers of fine clothing than one of the dense fabric.

T-shirt will be a very suitable base for the wardrobe, because in hot or cool weather it will very well absorb moisture, leaving the baby's skin dry. Panties should be chosen from waterproof fabric, preferably with pockets in which the child can store his findings.

It will not be superfluous and a jacket that you can wear when it gets colder. Do not forget the underwear and socks - ordinary and warm. Shoes take better raznoshennuyu because in the campaign it will not press, do not rub the legs, and yet will not be redundant in travel rubber boots. It is also necessary to take a light jacket with a deep hood, it will not allow dew and rain to wet the baby.

It is necessary to put a hat for the child. It can be a panama with large fields that will protect the neck and ears of the baby from the scorching sun, or baseball with a visor.

It is worth recalling that in the evenings it is cold in nature, so it is necessary to take warm clothes.

Of course, it's better to take a few sets (if it's in your power) so that when the baby gets dirty, you can change it.

We collect a backpack

If the age of your baby allows him to carry his own tourist backpack, then you should not deprive him of the opportunity to feel like a real traveler. Such things need to be bought in specialized stores, where knowledgeable sellers will help you make the right choice.

Babies under four years old are better off giving a small children's backpack in which to put a couple of toys and an apple or a banana for a small snack at a halt. For the older the weight should not exceed half the age.

Domestic issues

Of course, it is better to take water for drinking and cooking from home, do not risk the health of your baby and your own.

In a hike with a child, it is also worth taking wet wipes, diapers (if he needs them), wet toilet paper. For babies it is necessary to put a pot, and for older children - a film saddle.

It is worth taking seriously the choice of a sleeping set for a child. It should fully correspond to the time of year, be made of natural materials. Also, pay attention to the presence of a hood in it.

Leisure

You have reached the destination, the tents are set up, the fire is burning and lunch is ready ... Now you can take a walk with the child through the forest. Admire the beauty of green trees and pine trees, listen to the singing of birds, pick up bumps.

You can read books or just be with a child, without being distracted by everyday problems.

Successful hike

Finally I want to say that the organization of campaigns with children is a very big responsibility on the part of parents. In advance, think through all the details, and your vacation will be unforgettable and bring a lot of emotions to all family members.
