After taking some time off of shows to have a baby and get past the newborn stage, it's time to hit the road again and hopefully pay some bills. Of course my daughter couldn't be easy and take a bottle, so she has to come with me. She's 6 months old now. Any of you who have had to travel with a baby to festivals, do you have any suggestions? Dos and don'ts?I have reduced my schedule to 2 shows a month within a 5 hour driving distance to make the travel a bit more bearable. I have a helper coming with me so we can take turns in the booth and with Quinn (the baby), and I'm trying to ask for a location with space behind my booth so I can set up a make do play area out of the elements for her (of course who knows how often I'll get that). Making sure the hotel room has a fridge for baby food. I'm sure theres obvious things I will overlook though. Any tips from those who survived are appreciated!
