In this article we discuss ways to help you keep a handle on your children's sleep routine while travelling, so everyone can stay on track.
MANAGING THE SLEEP ROUTINE ON HOLIDAYS

Everyone deserves a holiday and travelling with your children can be such a wonderful and rewarding experience. There are, however, some things that should be taken into consideration to keep everything running smoothly.

One of the best parts of going on holiday is the chance to stray from the usual routine as there are less commitments and more freedom. This can become a problem when it comes to sleep for your little ones. As we know, sleep is a cornerstone for the health of your child and a good night's sleep can really set them up for the day. Travelling with children can be complicated for this reason but there are a few tricks to help them sleep as much as possible while you're on the move.

SETTING OFF

Setting off on the right foot can help your kids avoid being overtired or undertired on the initial journey, as neither of these two scenarios is ever a good way to keep sleep routines going in unfamiliar places.

Babies and young kids

It can be a great idea to set off on your travels at the time that your little one usually takes a nap. This won't guarantee that they will sleep through but try to make sure that they're freshly changed and fed for the best chance.

Older kids

Leaving for your trip after your child has had a chance to play or run around will help them to settle down for the journey. Perhaps, encourage them to use the bathroom just before you set off and make them a snack too.
