Those with infants & own a boat or spend time on boats
We just got a new boat. It has a small cabin & protection from the sun. Would you bring an infant out on the water? I really want to get out & spend time with DH and our son. Our son is only 6 weeks. I wanted to take him on the boat in August when he is closer to 9-10 weeks...am I crazy? Is it dangerous?

It is dangerous of course but I think you would be fine with a life jacket. Not that we really have the opportunity but I avoid things like that right now. But if its part of your lifestyle I would get comfortable with it. Maybe look for a Saftswim class so your baby can learn how to float etc.

No I do not think it is a good idea. The boat can get bounced around pretty good if a bigger boat passes or whatever. I would wait until next year. JMHO

I haven't taken DS out on the boat b/c I'm afraid of all the bouncing. Maybe in August when he's 4 months.

It depends on the boat. We have a small wellcraft and it gets really bumpy.
DS was born last April and we did not take him out last year. This was his first summer on the boat.

Re: Those with infants & own a boat or spend time on boats
This is my argument with DH right now. I absolutely do not want DS on the boat this summer. He is 4 months and I rather wait til next summer. I just think that it sometimes can get to bumpy out there holding him, and I don't really see the point in staying down in the cabin area. This is only my opinion though!
