Sleeping somewhere new removes the most regulating thing of all: the familiar bed and room. Bringing the bedtime routine and a comfort item, and knowing exactly when they come home, keeps the night anchored.
One tip from a dad who's been there
Pack the bedtime routine, not just pajamas: the same book, the same blanket, the same order. Sameness at night travels better than anything else.
Common questions
What if my child won't fall asleep away from home?
