Q- us, lo, hotel room and travel cot. Bedtime routine ?
So Hubby and I have decided to go away for a couple of days. We're gonna book a nice hotel, pack the travel cot and off we go. But I was just wondering..... so bedtime routine, bath, bottle bed. So at home we put lo in cot, in darkenss and he sleeps most of night. But if we're in a hotel room do we need to have lights off and bed at 7.30 too ? Or will he sleep OK with lights dimmed and us watching tv in the room. I just have a funny feeling that if I put lo in cot and we're still in the room with lights on etc he's never gonna sleep, just want to get up and play. And if he does sleep he'll think it's just for a nap and be up after 40 mins.

I think you'll have to just 'go with the flow' for a couple of nights.
You could always turn the lights and tv off while he settles himself to sleep if needed?
Have a lovely time!
Enjoy yourself!!

We stay in Travlelodge type places quite a lot as we have family all over the place. Obviously not the same as a nice hotel but we have the same problem of us all being in the same room.
On the whole Alf doesn't sleep as well as he would at home on the first night now at 8 months. When he was younger it was easier and he happily slept in his travel cot with us watching telly, chatting and eating etc. I would just go for it and enjoy your holiday! Where are you off to or haven't you decided yet?
Crafticharlie- my hubby likes your ideas best but not sure I could go to bar etc. Was it honestly OK ?
Not sure where we're going to go. We're based in Edinburgh so maybe west coast Scotland or Lake District somewhere. Would love some suggestions though. Suz x
