do your dcs settle at other people's houses

[Madallie]

Due to sleeping issues, our dd has not slept at anybody elses's since she was 6mo.

I would realy like to change this so that I can stay at my parent's sometimes (dh works lots of nights). However i'm worried that dd won't settle well and since she now sleeps a lot better I'm worried this will rock the boat interms of her sleep.

Do you DCs sleep well elsewhere?

She has a cot and sleeping bag to sleep in at my parents so will be comfy. The only difference is we will have to share a room which we haven't done for months so not sure how that will go.

I've never had any problems with occasional visits to other houses and holidays away with my DS. Try it and see

DS (7mo) fairly regularly sleeps at either my parents or at the inlaws for a night or two. He usually copes fine, the main thing he struggles with is if it's colder than he's used to.

Hmmm - it varies. Depends on how well they know the people we are staying with and how distraction free we can get the room they are staying in.

We stayed 2 nights in a hotel recently which was fine but I still shudder at the memory of staying with SIL.

Mine are 19 months if that helps.

I have a similar concern with my 6 month old dd. When she was 4 months old we went to stay with the grandparents, she cried the whole time, threw up three times from crying and didn't sleep at all. I've been too worried to try it again.
All you can do is give it a go but if she really isn't settling come home again then maybe try again in a few weeks/months? Dont pressure yourself or dd. Not sure how old your dd is but by the time she's old enough to realise she'll be spoilt rotten by the grandparents she will probably love staying there :)
