Planning a family holiday is exciting — but if you’re a parent, you know that travelling with a baby can bring new challenges. One of the biggest worries? How to keep your baby sleeping well in a new place.

At molis&co, we know that good sleep is precious (for babies and parents!). That’s why we’ve gathered some simple, realistic tips to help you adapt your baby’s bedtime routine during holidays — without stress.

1. Keep the Essentials

When you’re away from home, it’s okay if not everything goes exactly to plan. The secret is to hold on to the little things that make bedtime familiar and comforting:

• Try to stick to their usual bedtime (give or take 30 minutes).
  
• Bring something they know and love — like their favourite cuddly toy or their trusted molis&co sleeping bag.
  
• Keep a tiny bedtime ritual: a short story, a calming lullaby or a cuddle before lights out.
  

These small anchors help your baby feel safe and ready to rest, wherever you are.

2. Take a Bit of Home with You

A few familiar items can make all the difference when sleeping away from home:

• Pack the same molis&co sleeping bag they sleep in every night. Familiar smells and textures help them settle faster.
  
• Bring a small night light to create a cosy, reassuring glow.
  
• If you use gentle sleep sounds or soft white noise at home, keep that going — a portable sound machine or an app can help block out unfamiliar noises.
  
  

3. Be Flexible with Timing

Holidays mean new places, new people and new adventures — it’s normal for routines to shift. Don’t worry if bedtime doesn’t happen at the exact minute it does at home.

Try to keep bedtime within 30–45 minutes of your normal schedule if you can. And if one night gets a bit off track? Breathe easy — your baby will adjust again once you’re back home.

A little flexibility helps everyone enjoy the trip more.

4. Set Up a Cosy Sleep Space

Wherever you stay — a hotel, family house or holiday rental — take a few minutes to make your baby’s sleep area comfortable and safe:

• Check that the room is at a comfortable temperature.
  
• Darken the space as much as possible to help your baby understand it’s bedtime.
  
• Use their molis&co sleeping bag to keep them warm and snug, without loose blankets that could slip off during the night.
  

A familiar sleep space helps your baby feel calm and secure — even in new surroundings.

5. Enjoy the Moment

Last but not least: remember why you’re travelling in the first place — to make memories together. Holidays are special and a few changes to the routine are normal (and okay!).

Trust that your baby will settle back into their normal sleep rhythm once you’re home. Until then, relax, enjoy the adventure and treasure the time as a family.
