| His wife is supposedly a nurse. Think about it.
|
| And the idiot is asking baby questions on a sailing NG. For next
| summer yet!
|
| What's next, ''what do I do with the baby if it's raining outside
next
| Spring''?

| Having had children and never having an air conditioner until
they
| were
| well
| grown, I don't see this as a problem. Thomas will be almost
one
| by next
| season...the problem is not whether they get hot but how
hydrated
| they
| are....push fluids is much more important than an
AC...especially
| since
| you
| live in a temperate climate...keep them dry, they don;t get
the
| prickly
| heat....it's all pretty basic stuff...why create false
atmosphere
| for a
| baby? Babies are both resilient and adaptable and should be
| exposed to
| their climate so they adapt. Creating a false climate causes
| problems
| down
| the road. The ;latest studies show a,amazing things about
kids.
| Babies
| that are brought up in super clean, animal-less environments
tend
| to grow
| up
| with allergies and asthma. kids that are allowed to get
healthily
| dirty
| and
| have pets are far more disease resistant down the line. Makes
| sense...your
| average farm kid is as healthy as a horse whereas asthma seems
to
| be a
| city
| or suburb kid thing.

| Its no problem. Make sure you can lash a seat (old car
seat,
| etc.)
| under
| the
| dodger so he can stay out of the Sun. I don't recall having
any
| "overheating"
| issues while under way or at anchor or a mooring. Dockside,
of
| course,
| can be a
| problem, so you might want to fire up the A/C if you intend
to
| stay
| dockside a
| lot. When Amelia was born, we moved to a marina
(Constitution
| Marina)
| that had
| a small swimming pool, so Mother and Baby could hang out
there
| if I was
| fiddling
| with the boat.
|
| This brings up another point. Thomas can take swimming
lessons
| at the
| "Y"
| (and
| other places) starting at about 6 months.

| This season is wrapping up and Thomas may get one or two
sails
| in, but
| I'm
| concerned about the hot months next year. How do couples
keep
| babies
| cool
| under
| sail on hot days? I see them sailing, but I still have
| concerns. I
| have
| a AC
| system for the boat (not installed), but it would require
a
| small
| genset
| to
| keep running under sail. Thoughts from kiddie-cruiser
experts
| out
| there?
