We've had lots of visitors recently so had to move DS into our room in his portable cot for a few nights. Our bedroom is big enough that he's not right by our bed and I secured a sheet on the side of his cot so he couldn't see us. But he was still up all night! Ordinarily he wakes once around 5am and I BF him and he goes straight back down till 8ish. When he was in with us he woke A LOT and I BF him basically to quiet him down and he often took a few hours to resettle. Ended up with him in the bed attached to me most nights.
We will be staying with friends / family a lot over Xmas and sharing a room with him again so am looking for any advice on how to maintain his normal sleep pattern when he's in our room. Thanks!
