Advice for sleeping in a hotel with a baby (lemmy.world)

My wife, my 1 year old and I have a trip coming up and we'll be staying in a hotel.

Our big guy's done great on previous trips sleeping without a problem, but this will be the first time we don't have a separate room for him (we've stayed in cabins and stuff before, I don't mean a separate hotel room). When we try to put him down and he sees us still in the room he usually just cries for us and we would have to end up going to bed with him.

I would love to be able to put him down and still be able to enjoy a quite night of playing cards or watching a movie with my wife without having to go to bed at 7 with him everynight.

Anyone have any advice?

There is always the cellphone as a monitor trick. Have one of you leave your cellphone in the room and call it. Leave the other one on speaker and muted. That way you guys can go a little bit away but still be able to hear if he cries.

We had an app on Android when ours was little called "Dormi" that acted just like as baby monitor. That was useful so we could use a Wi-Fi only device and each of us still had our phones on us and (mostly) operational.
