We already have the hotel booked and it's a trip with several other people so I can't cancel/change hotels. I just thought to look up the place on bedbug registry today and they have a couple of listings. Oh no! I'm absolutely terrified of bed bugs. We've never had them, but I've had nightmares about them. I was going to take LO's pack n play so he can sleep on his own bedding, and because it's what we use in place of a crib at home. Now I'm scared, though! Should I bring it with me? What if bed bugs get into the pack n play- how would I clean it/prevent that? If I check the room carefully and don't see any evidence, will the pack n play probably be safe? I don't want my poor little baby getting bitten up! </p>
