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?

Will he be in a pack n play?

Yeah he'll be in a pack and play, which he usually does well in

Hm you could try putting it on the other side of the bed (between bed and wall if there's space?), so the bed would block his view of you. Or see if the hotel has a room divider.

A room divider might be perfect if they have one. I'll have to check when we get there, thanks!
