baby sleeping arrangements

[abdoujaparov]

my opinion is unchanged, i dont think children should be in any environment where people are consuming drink and drugs.

[rhysieg]

yes we'll agree to disagree though in 5 Glastonburys I've not once seen a fight and honestly can't remember much if any drunken falling over. The worry with a baby at Gbury wouldnt be drunk people, crowds as such or drug-taking - the biggest worry for me this year is the weather. can cope with a bit of a rain, a bit of mud, the odd thunder storm but not a complete 5 day mud-fest.

you smoke cannabis around your children?

[monkey1989]

Is that a serious post??

[Ed209]

Is what i thought to the question at the beginning of this thread

A child yeah sure they have the kidz field , arts and crafts and can bop along to the music with there folks , but a baby ! a baby would have as much fun staying at home with the grandparents playing with a piece of string, without the loud noise and mud

[coma girl]

I'd rather have more kids there and less small minded uninformed idiots. Everyone parents differently, get over it.

People have been taking babies to Glastonbury probably since it began. If they were fine in the earlier years then they'll be fine now. The festival is no more dangerous than any city man street and I have the utmost respect for anyone who is immersing their child from much a young age in such a great cultural event and I hope one day I can bring my own children

Totally. Kids, including babies, at the festival is brilliant. More the better.

You just want to wear the badge. Shame on you

[Big Vern]

Totally up to the parents if they take their child of any age to Glastonbury, they know what is best for their child, not us. However gotta fully accept anything that may happen to them as their responsibilty and fault and not other festival goers, the weather, poor sanitation etc etc

I am amazed at the amount of posts (far too many to quote!) on here debating how wrong it is taking infants and children to Glastonbury Festival. I wish my parents had taken me as I truly believe any child of any age will benefit from their experiences there.

Do you really think the parents with babies are going to camp in Pennards, or perhaps they prefer the safety of the family field? Which by coincidence is next to the Kidz field? (Oh how awful calling the children kids!!!) Which bizarrely has facilities for bathing infants, crikey, good job the midwives running that particular tent don't hold the same opinion as the negative posters on here!

Maybe some peoples sole purpose is to get wasted at Glastonbury, fall on tents and be out of their head on alcohol and drugs? however some can have a good time without either!

Or is this now just another thread for keyboard warriors to battle?

Live and let live, you will be far richer for it!

Wish my parents were cool enough to have taken me as a child.

[LondonTom]

I'd also loved to say I'd been to Glasto since I was born....

Every kid (sorry baby/child ) has looked happy enough and out of danger to me and even those horrid people drinking and doing drugs seem to see them and avoid them .

The number of trolls on this forum in recent months is unreal.

A different opinion does not constitute a troll you moron

[giantkatestacks]

It comes down to the fact that there are many different kinds of glasto for many different types of people and at many different lifestages. The festival i have now in my ahem older years is different to the one I had when I was 17 and so in.

I leave my children at home because of selfishness not out of safety concerns.

Give over what's wrong with debate? I'm not telling anyone what to do , just expressing an opinion

[cham08]

I'm not getting drawn into the debate above but will just answer the OP's question.

We are taking one of those pop up baby tents. My niece had it first - and camped in it from when she was 4 months old, first time was in April (although not at a festival). With a romper suit and grow bag she was toasty warm. Ours has camped in it too and not had any problems. They pack up really small and are light and easy to carry.

Have a great glasto and see you in the kids field.
