Maintain good routines during the summer holidays with baby and children

Maintain good routines during the summer holidays with baby and children
Parenting Tips

The summer holidays are something very special. Long days, spontaneous trips and lots of fun. But for both babies and older children, too many changes can quickly cause restlessness, poor sleep and overstimulation.

Therefore, it is not about sticking to all the rules, but about maintaining the most important routines so that your child still feels safe.

At Littledeluxe you will find carefully selected products that make it easier to stick to everyday life; also when you are on the go. The range has been developed with a focus on safety, quality and functionality for small children.

That is why routines are important - also during the holidays

Although holidays are often about breaking everyday life, this does not necessarily apply to children. Babies in particular need repetition and recognition.

According to experts and experiences from parents, the key to a good holiday with baby is precisely that adapt to the child's needs and not the other way around.

👉 In other words: Keep the structure, but make it flexible.

👶 Baby (0-1 year): Security, sleep, and familiarity

  • Stick to the sleep rhythm

    Sleep is one of the first things that is affected during the holiday.


    Therefore:

    • Keep roughly the same bedtime
    • Create darkness and calm; also in new surroundings
    • Use the same things as home


    Small recognizable elements make a big difference to baby's security.

  • Create fixed rituals

    It doesn't have to be advanced:

    • Same song before bedtime
    • Same order: bath → book → putting
    • Relaxed atmosphere every evening


    Routines act as signals to the child about what needs to happen.

  • Make mealtime simple and recognizable

    Even when you are on a trip:

    • Have fixed times (approximately)
    • Bring your own dishes and cups
    • Avoid too many new inputs at once
  • Pack a “comfort zone”

    A good rule of thumb:

    • Pacifiers
    • Cuddly cloth
    • Pacifier
    • Blanket
    • Famous toys

    It creates a small "base" wherever you are.

🧒 Older children (1+ years): Structure with freedom

Older children can better handle variation, but still need structure.

  • Keep the fixed points of the day

    You don't need a strict plan; just repetitions:

    • Morning routine (breakfast + calm start)
    • Evening routine (bath, book, goodnight)


    It gives the child a sense of control.

  • Prepare the child for the day

    Tell what will happen:

    • “Today we are going to the beach”
    • “After lunch we go home and relax”


    It creates predictability and fewer conflicts.

  • Have activities ready without overstimulation

    Summer can quickly become "too much":

    • Take small games with you on the go
    • Choose quiet toys
  • Make breaks a regular part of the day

    Plan small breaks:

    • Quiet time in the middle of the day
    • Snack break
    • Time without stimuli


    It helps the child to regulate himself.

How to maintain stress-free routines

Here's the easy approach:

1. Think “80% routine”
It doesn't have to be perfect.

2. Prioritize sleep and meals
It is the foundation for the rest of the day.

3. Make it easy on yourself
Bring products that work from home.

4. Accept variation
Holidays are also for enjoying – not controlling.

Routines make the holiday better – not more boring

Many believe that routines limit freedom, but for children it actually does the opposite.

When the child feels safe, there is more room for:

  • Play
  • Experiences
  • Happy moments
