Not sailing, but had my son when living on the Yukon river; he went canoeing
and spent his seventh night and years after in camps along the river. Our
strict policy was this: On the river one of us ALWAYS wore a PFD and had
responsibility for ONLY him if confronted with an emergency. I strongly
disagree with Larry and others on this; with careful preparation you can
avoid confining your offspring to a skinner box for their first years, and
reap handsome rewards later for your efforts.

We're due in June and would like to hear from people who have experience
sailing with a 0-4 month old. Pros, cons, advice and warnings as well as
any
product suggestions to purchase are greatly appreciated. We have had
fabulous feedback from our vessel-specific forum and wanted to tap the
veterans here as well.

(Please no stories about how your son started sailing with you at age 6.
Infants only please!)

Thanks so much,
