So, last year I left my 12 month old little boy with my husband while I went to Badminton XC day. There seemed to be so many people there with babies and toddlers in buggies and to be honest, I thought they were all mad!
Fast forward a year, and now I'm planning to take my (would be) 5 month old there this year, eep! I'm still feeding him myself so while my eldest can stay with his Dad, little Henry goes where I go so it's a case of bring him or don't go... and I'm going!
Luckily he is (unlike his elder brother who I would not have entertained doing similar with!) a very easy going baby who will be more than happy enough splitting his time between his baby carrier and his buggy, I'll have friends with me to help out and thankfully his buggy is quite good off-road... but I am still feeling a slight sense of trepidation about the day!
Anyone done it? Any tips? Positive stories?
*Disclaimer*: I'm not planning to ram people with my buggy on the course, or let him scream the place down, or engage in any other baby related anti-social type behaviour... just to put the child-intolerants' minds at rest from the outset
