Sleep Tip #45: Make a Comfortable Sleep Environment for Your Baby This Holiday

If you are traveling to another destination with your baby this holiday season, it's important that they get good sleep. When staying over at a friend or relative's house, your child may feel uncomfortable because they are not familiar with their surroundings. If they are scared or confused, it may be hard for them to fall and stay asleep. In order to keep your baby feeling safe and secure, make sure you use sleep associations when putting them to bed. If you usually turn the lights off or read them a bedtime story before bedtime, continue to do so when you're away from home. Bring familiar toys, bedding or pillows to further ease them into a good night's sleep.
