We just weren't prepared for cosleeping, DH and I weren't ready for bed, our stuff wasn't ready, and she's never done it before so I feel like she'll never go to sleep so she'll think it's still play time. Never hurts to try though I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-toddlers-who-dont-like-sleeping-in-newdifferent-places#post-527752 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 14:08:51 +0000 rachiecakes 527752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to just keep him in bed with me until he fell asleep. It was hard though! and took forever to get him to drift off... </p> <p>This last weekend, when he was tired, I put him in the PnP, said goodnight and went and sat on the bathroom floor until he fell asleep. He didn't cry or fuss. I could hear him rolling around for a bit but he did fall asleep pretty quickly both nights we were in the hotel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-toddlers-who-dont-like-sleeping-in-newdifferent-places#post-527724 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 13:56:52 +0000 heffalump 527724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As my LO gets older and more aware of her surroundings, she is HATING sleeping in new places. Our last vacation was just one night. We took all of her familiar things, including her little bath tub with all of her toys. But when it came time to take a bath you would have thought DH was going to dip her in acid, she clung onto him screaming for dear life. We gave her a quick sponge bath instead, let her calm down..... and then we had to put her down for the night.</p> <p>Again we did the normal routine. I gave her milk, or tried anyway. She didn't want any, screamed the whole time because she was looking at her pack n play. I was able to get her to brush her teeth because we sang her "brush brush brush your teeth" song, but right when that was over she clung to me again screaming. I made DH put her down, I just couldn't do it. </p> <p>Luckily she was so wiped out that the second he did put her down she fell asleep. I was terrified we'd get noise complaints in the hotel from her screaming all night long!</p> <p>Any ideas on how to make it easier for LO to travel? I don't want to stop going places :( </p>
