Hi!
DS is aged 2 and although we’ve stayed in hotels with him when he was a baby we’ve not since lockdown (Just cottage stays where he’s had his own room)
So essentially, any tips?
He’s a good sleeper, generally shattered by 7ish and up at 6.30. He likes it dark (we have a travel blackout) and he struggles with noise when he’s going to sleep.
He’s not your typical on the move sleeper and wouldn’t just fall asleep in the bed with us when he’s tired.
He’s still in a travel cot for info.
I wouldn’t be fussed about late nights / lie in etc for a couple of nights but it’s an active holiday so we’ll need to be up and out early and if he does go to bed late he’s usually still up at the same time, and he’ll have to nap on the move (so he’d have half an hour ish rather than up to 2 hours) and this will all add up to crankiness.
Basically, I’m keen for him to get a reasonable amount of sleep still. He’s adaptable of course but not massively, if you know what I mean!
DH said we just put him to bed as normal and wait until he’s gone to sleep before whacking the TV on (which would be fine once he’s off and would only take 15 mins) / reading etc, but I feel a bit weird lying on the bed in the dark like a couple of stiffs until he’s asleep 😂 is that normal? Plus I’d probably fall asleep ha.
Any tips most welcome!
