acimag Posted September 6, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Anyone else have to deal with this problem. Since birth we have put the baby in her own room at bed time. She sleeps alone and has no problem. We are worried about having her sleep in the pack and play all week. she is going to stay up all night. any tips so we don't have a crying baby all week. We like sleep as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 6, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hopefully, you have a balcony cabin, so you can put the baby to bed...and go on the balcony, leaving baby alone until she falls asleep....a balcony gives you extra space "to be" without sitting in a dark cabin! I doubt she'll be up all night...she'll get tired at some point!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthlessBoss Posted September 6, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Why are you worried about the pack and play? Get her used to it at home and it shouldn't be a big problem. And perhaps make a tiny room with sheets to cut her visual field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted September 6, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) It's a baby. She won't stay up all night. It will be fine, don't worry too much. :) Edited September 6, 2015 by ColinIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She sleeps alone and has no problem. We are worried about having her sleep in the pack and play all week. she is going to stay up all night. any tips so we don't have a crying baby all week. We like sleep as well. Ask your cabin steward for an extra regular sheet and drape it as a screen between baby and you. This should help. Turn the lights off and keep the tv volume very very low. The first night might be a bit of a problem but she will eventually go to sleep. Make sure you have brought her favorite blankie and stuffed animal. You might also ask for ideas on CC Family Forum. I'm sure others have had similar question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchdiva Posted September 6, 2015 #9 Share Posted September 6, 2015 You will probably find that she will be so zonked from the sea air that she will sleep like a rock! I'm willing to bet that all will be fine.....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymbomb Posted September 6, 2015 #12 Share Posted September 6, 2015 DS is also a good but not very flexible sleeper. He will sleep fine in a pack n play, but not if he can see us! We did make use of our balcony when we put him down for naps most days. Also we were on Epic where there is a curtain separating the bathroom area from the main room, so we put him in the little entry way between the shower compartment and the toilet compartment so we could pull the curtain and he couldn't see us. I agree with other suggestions of trying to find a way to drape a sheet or similar to make a separate space for her.

hansolosmom Posted September 6, 2015 #13 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I agree with the posters suggesting putting sheet or overs over the pack and play. When we cruised and the boys were little we sailed Disney and they had a curtain to pull across the room. It worked great since it was dark enough on their side for them to sleep and gave us enough separation. I would think covering the pack and play would work as well. You might even bring some of the command hooks to hang the sheet like a curtain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitzel Posted September 7, 2015 #14 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Bring a set of heavy duty magnetic hooks and a cheap opaque shower curtain. The walls and ceiling of the cabin should be metal -- you can create your own room divider if the cabin does not already have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitzel Posted September 7, 2015 #16 Share Posted September 7, 2015 That's genius Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks! I should note that the shower curtain should be fabric. Plastic ones could cause issues with young kids and don't allow for good airflow. A flat sheet also works if you bring magnetic clips rather than hooks. Just make sure that the magnets are very, very strong ones. You should have to tug to get them to break away from a metal surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
