Minimal Base that goes on the ground (either by itself or paired with a nicer self inflating sleep pad)- Therm a Rest’s classic sleeping pad is about as basic as it gets, but it does get the job done! If you’re just getting into camping and don’t want to spend a bunch, this is for you! You can sleep on JUST this pad, but it will likely be more comfortable and warmer if you get some other kind of sleeping pad! At these temps, consider investing in an actual sleeping bag. This will help ensure your baby stays warm without having to use a ton of layers and unsafe blankets! (These are all my opinion regarding the temps, so make the best choice for your family!)

To me, the only safe way to co-sleep while camping is out of the sleeping bag, and on a safe surface such as the pads I mentioned above! Every time I have co-slept has been with my girls OUTSIDE of my sleeping bag!

When babies are SUPER little, this style of swaddle can really help retain warmth. If your baby isn't used to being swaddled then this might not be the choice for you, however, these were perfect for my twins when we were camping (so that I wasn't as paranoid about them freezing at nigh with their little hands and arms exposed!)
