Toddler + Vacay

Let me start off by saying my 18 month old wild child is a complete bed snob. Meaning she likes her bed, her room and sleeps great at home (10-12 hours with 1.5-2 hour naps). Anytime we go somewhere else it’s a complete and total disaster even though I stick to routine, keep the room dark, sound machine, have her lovey, sleep sack, etc. it’s so stressful for us to travel because of her sleep.

We try letting her sleep in our bed with us when all else fails but that never works. She’s never been a cuddler (which makes me sad to a point lol) she tosses, turns, climbs on us, never settles down it’s crazy and mind blowing to me because I remember sleeping so good in between my parents but that’s just not her thing and never has been lol.

Anyway, we have a trip coming up and are stressed about it after the weekend of sleep - or I should say lack thereof - that we just had at her grandparents house for the weekend lol. So let me know what you guys do or if I just call it a loss and don’t sleep on vacay. 😅
