The rule for successful travelling baby sleep training is to follow the same routines as at home. The purpose is to create a feeling of familiarity, helping the baby to go to sleep with peace of mind. Here are some ways parents can use it:
Imitate bedtime routines: The more you follow home routines while traveling, the more likely your baby is to fall asleep on time. For example, if you often bathe and read to your kids while they sleep at home, do the same thing while traveling. Bring items to help your baby sleep: Bring a pacifier, blanket, or white noise machine/app. Using them can create a sense of familiarity, helping children sleep better. Practice before traveling: Let your baby sleep in a travel cot for a few nights before the trip to let them get used to it.

2. Sleep training but the child does not cooperate, what to do?


Pause sleep training: Returning home and then continuing to sleep training for children is a common trend of families. This can cause the baby to sleep erratically for a few days to a few weeks. When you get home, you need some time to readjust your sleep schedule. Babies will soon return to their previous sleeping habits. Stay in a hotel to reduce noise by friends or family: Hotels with private spaces are a better choice for sleep training for children if you do not want to be disturbed by family and friends. However, noise can be everywhere. If staying at a hotel is still noisy, making it difficult for your child to fall asleep, you should continue to practice sleeping when you get home.
