You are walking down a tight trail with rocks and stuff..My wife says you should be okay,I agree..Now going from one beach to the other might be alittle hard..But there is a path at the top that is just a easy trail to devils bay..Both spots should be easy for ya..ENJOY.The Baths is one of the best things I have ever seen..Camera crazy you will go...

I have heard that you can book an excursion (not on the ship) to the Baths where a boat takes you right to the beach. This might be a better way to do it with a small child.
Thanks for the advice, I really didn't want to go with out her. Thanks a mil !!!!

We took an excursion through Carnival to the baths. It was a bus drive where they took us to a path we had to walk through to get to the water. At the time our daughters were young (7 & 9).....and it's not a difficult walk at all. You should be fine. There's a beach there to swim and you can also go through the big boulders which are cavelike (can't recall the exact name of those), but I opted out of that because I am quite claustrophobic. My husband took our girls through and they had a great time.
Either way.....I'd take a baby there without a second thought. I would probably carry her in a hiking child carrier which always came in handy for us when we traveled.
Have fun! I hope to some day return to the Baths. I loved it there.

When we were there, the sand on the beach was the hottest sand I'd ever experienced in my life. Much too hot to stand on barefooted. Thank goodness we were wearing water shoes, or I'd never have gotten near the water. FWIW It was late May, and although the weather was hot, it wasn't remarkably so.
Now the situation would easily be different from day to day. Just offering this as a "heads up" so you can be careful with that baby.
