Message: When I got my glider I forgot to take one thing into consideration: I go camping in Canada every summer for 4-5 weeks. I need advice on how best to care for my baby. Here's the prob: He's too little to be able to maintain his own body heat. I had him in a pouch the other day for about 2 hours, and when I took him out he was so cold that he was asleep and completely disoriented. The pouch is polar fleece and it was about 70 degrees where I was, with a few pieces of me-scented fabric inside but he almost froze to death. (he's currently 3-1/2 mos. old, by the way.) There is no electricity on the island where we stay, so I can't hook up a heat rock or anything. The temperature sometimes gets down to 30 or 40 in the middle of the night, with high winds. (He will be inside the tent, though.) Last, he is very attached to me, and would very likely die if I left him with someone else that he didn't know. I'm completely stumped. I think I wanted him so much when I got him that I just conveniently forgot what a problem it might present, but now I fear for the little guy's welfare. Any suggestions? Does anyone know of any good, reliable battery-operated heat source that doesn't eat batteries like crazy? Thanks a bunch for any info...
