Are you sleeping away from home with your baby soon? These top tips from @careitoutsleepconsultant are for you! Being honest there’s no magic wand to making your baby sleep well whilst away. It’s totally out of your control.

And I know you probably don’t want to hear that! But here’s some tips that can certainly help your baby sleep:

- Pack a slept in cot sheet and pair of pjs. Familiar objects can help your baby settle in strange places.
 
- Use a baby sleep spray for a few weeks before you go and take it with you to spritz before sleep. A familiar scent can be comforting and help cue your baby it’s sleep time.
 
- Take a couple of your favourite bedtime books to read together.
 
- If there’s room you can also take a couple of their bath toys. 
 
- Using mobile white noise can help your baby nap out and about and it can be a sleep saviour in noisy holiday homes or hotels.
 
- A travel blackout blind can be a massive help if your holiday home is very bright or has thin curtains.
 
- Take their dummy, comforter and sleeping bag plus spare if you use them.
 
- Don’t forget their cup if they have milk before sleep or water at night. My all time favourite cup is the glow in the dark tum tum cup.
