How to maintain routines when traveling?
Recreate the home sleep setup
Bring familiar cues (noise, comforter) and keep the same routine timing.
Travel was easier—familiar lullaby and comforter did the trick.
Travel throws new sights and sounds at babies, so the goal is to recreate your home sleep setup as closely as possible. Bring your comforter, keep white noise low and consistent, and run the same calming sequence at roughly the same times each day. Expect a little wobble for a night or two—then things usually click back into place.
Try tonight
- Pack Raffy and a simple blackout option (clip-on cloth or travel blinds).
- Use the same order of bedtime routine you use at home.
- Expect small shifts for 1–2 nights, then revert to usual timing.

An Absolute God Send! ★★★★★
We got a riff raff when my little man was just a few weeks old… He knows when Raffy goes on it’s sleeptime and is sleeping within 10 minutes. Last week we went on our first long trip and of course Raffy came and made the drive an absolute breeze. Thank you for this amazing comforter—it has been an absolute god send!

Thank you!!!! Making car trips a dream ★★★★★
We live in country WA and drive long distances frequently. Our 6-month-old always hated the car and refused to sleep. We bought Raffy 2 weeks ago and it’s been a life saver—we’ve been in the car for an hour today without any tears and he put himself to sleep with Raffy as company. Thank you!!!!

Wow. ★★★★★
We flew with our 5-month-old and used the music over the engine noise—game changer. Now at 19 months he takes “Meeko” everywhere (made daycare transition great). Tip: wear it in your shirt to add scent and give it every night at bedtime. Can’t recommend enough!
