My family and I will be going on a 2 week vacation in Europe for my dad’s 70th birthday. My daughter (21 months) is luckily doing GREAT with sleeping on her own. I’m getting a bit nervous because of the time change, and also meals there are around 1 pm for lunch (which is her nap time) and 8-8:30 pm for dinner (she sleeps around 7 pm). Any tips?

    I’d start adjusting nap and bedtime little by little a few days before the trip. On the trip, we offered dinner earlier when needed and brought quiet activities for restaurant time. Sometimes naps happened on the go. It’s all about being flexible.

    The first couple days might be a bit of a mess, but most kids adjust quickly. We focused on sunlight in the morning and tried to stick to familiar nap cues, even if the timing was off.

    I think she should be fine, especially if the does sleep well. Prepare for some days of random sleep schedules for some time, but overall I think she will manage
