Planning a trip abroad with your little one? Wondering how to navigate time changes, late dinners, and sleep on long flights? You’re not alone—and this episode is here to help.
After taking her own daughters to Europe three times (and guiding dozens of families through international sleep transitions), Allison is sharing real-life strategies for helping your child sleep well during international travel — so your trip is filled with memories, not meltdowns.
In this episode, she covers the three biggest international travel sleep challenges she hears from families — and how to handle each with confidence.
✨ You’ll learn:
-
The best time of day to book your flight (and how to handle sleep on board ✈️)
-
How to help your child adjust quickly to a new time zone — even if that first night is rough
- What to do when dinner is at 7pm but bedtime used to be at 7pm 😬
Whether you're heading across the pond or just dreaming of it, this episode is packed with practical tips that will help your whole family sleep better — and travel happier.
