Hiking with my baby

My son is now two months old and I am dying to get back outside and on some good hikes, but I also don't want to leave him with someone else. How long have other people waited until they thought it was appropriate to take their baby hiking?

  • Congrats Emily! To be honest, you're not going to find a black/white answer. Trust me I already looked. I took my son with me in a sling when he was two months old, and we didn't have any issues at all. Just remember to bring all your essentials, including sunscreen, and also plan to take a lot longer than you normally would. Have fun!

  • Don't forget to bring your bear mace! I've heard from more than a few hikers that a soiled diaper can attract animals. I don't think it is anything to worry about, but better safe than sorry.
