Backpacking is one of my favorite ways to enjoy the outdoors with my daughter. It's not always easy, but it's definitely worth it! Whether you're an expecting parent or experienced grandparent, hopefully you find something in this video helpful, informative, or just entertaining. So let's hit the trail, and I'll show you how I backpack with a baby/toddler! 👣 For more content like this check out my blog: "Must Haves for Backpacking with a Baby" - https://www.jessicasojourning.com/post/baby-must-haves "Our First Time Backpacking with a Baby" - https://www.jessicasojourning.com/post/first-baby-backpacking-trip "The More the Merrier | John Rock Loop" -https://www.jessicasojourning.com/post/john-rock-loop Want to support the channel?

Taking an overnight trip was a spur of the moment decision. We had a free weekend, beautiful weather, and a baby that was finally sleeping (mostly) through the night. What better time to introduce our daughter to backpacking than now? So, we loaded up our packs and hit the trail. Backpacking with a 10 week old wasn't easy, but it was certainly worth it! Check out the trail journal where I share more about our experience backpacking with a baby! I also talk about some of the challenges we ran into and what we learned to do better next time: https://jessicasojourning.com/post/first-baby-backpacking-trip Want to support the channel?

It’s true. Bringing a little one on the trail introduces all kinds of new challenges, but I haven’t let that stop me. Learning to overcome those challenges has been so rewarding! It makes me so sad hearing parents say they used to love hiking, but gave up on it once the kids came along. You definitely don’t have to venture off into untamed wilderness to get your family outside. There are plenty of other ways to foster a love for adventure in your kids. Like paddling, geocaching, bouldering, car camping… I could go on but I think you get the picture! Want to support the channel?
