A festival-loving mum says her baby got better sleep at Glastonbury than at home thanks to white noise from the generator.<br /><br />Miranda Fox, 29, and her husband, Zac, 32, expected to come home shattered when they took their first-born Woody, then nine months old, on their annual trip to Glastonbury Festival last year.<br /><br />But the parents were delighted to return rejuvenated from their five nights camping after young Woody got the best shut eye ever.<br /><br />Sound from the festival's massive generators acted like white noise, they said - lulling their little one to sleep and stopping him from being roused by the party hubbub.<br /><br />Miranda, a boxing coach, from Notting Hill, London, said: "It really made it for us - leaving Glastonbury well rested is unheard of, and we actually felt rejuvenated.<br /><br />"He slept better than at home - that was so much better than we expected.<br /><br />"I was really worried about the noise, but the generator was like white noise and really helped him sleep.<br /><br />"He'd sleep while we were out until about midnight, then until six or seven in the tent.<br /><br />"I also think him lying next to us and not in his cot helped.<br /><br />"He loved it and had the best time ever - he's a proper camping baby.<br /><br />"He loved the music and everything being so new - he was totally mind blown by it all."<br /><br />Miranda has been to Glastonbury Festival for the last eight years, and Zac, a film maker, for the last 13.<br /><br />Before having Woody, party-loving Miranda went to four weekend and two-day festivals a year.<br /><br />So, the couple wanted to introduce Woody to the festival scene and packed up the car for his first Glasto experience last June.<br /><br />They went for five nights - Wednesday to Monday - because there was so much going on to take with Woody along to and claim it gave him time to settle in.<br /><br />Not only did Woody have chilled-out nights, but Miranda and Zac got to enjoy headline events by positioning themselves on the outskirts of the tents and taking it in turns to go nearer the front.<br /><br />Miranda's top tip is to let go of your baby's routine and wing it to get the best out of the festival experience.<br /><br />And she suggests taking more than one mode of baby transport.<br /><br />The couple took a trailer to move all their kit from the car, then filled it with blankets and cushions to make a portable den for Woody.<br /><br />They popped fairy lights on their wagon so people could see it in the dark.<br /><br />Other tips included investing in baby ear defenders that tie under the chin, taking your own stove and kettle so you can get a coffee at the tent when baby wakes up, and having quick and easy food to hand like pouches of baby food and porridge pots.<br /><br />Rather than carrying a travel cot, they popped Woody in a snow suit to keep warm and snuggled him on a sheep-skin rug with blankets beside their airbed.<br /><br />Miranda said: "Dropping the routine 100 per cent made the difference for us - I'd have been so stressed otherwise.<br /><br />"You just have to let go of it all - bed time, nap time, mealtimes.<br /><br />"He slept when he slept and ate when he ate.
