DS is 4 months old. We need to live in a hotel while major work is done on our house. Landlord will pay for Travelodge/Premier Inn type hotel, but I'm stressing, possibly quite unreasonably, about the practicalities of this because I've hardly ever stayed in a hotel before and never with a baby.
Baby is still waking every couple of hours in the night to feed and we've been using a bedside cot/co-sleeping so I can just pull him over to me, feed him back to sleep and them put him back without getting up. Can I do that in a hotel? Will they have bedside cots? Will the mattresses be too soft for safe co-sleeping? Will we have to buy a new mattress to fit the hotel cot? SIDS advice is not to use a used mattress.
Don't know how long we'll be there, but it could be several weeks and we don't have a car to be able to take our own cot. Or baby bath.
Also at the moment we do at least one load of laundry per day, because for example I only have two wearable feeding bras. How does laundry work in hotels - do you have to pay extra for it, and if so how much does it cost and how fast do you get your stuff back? Will they wash stuff in non-bio at 60 degrees if requested?
