[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will your kid be able to watch shows?  Maybe you could sync up watching something together, even while back in the hotel?  Other things you could do remotely - read out loud, draw on the whiteboard on zoom, possibly play a game like uno.  But you should also nap, go for a walk, watch your own show,... and not feel guilty about that.[/quote]

Op here. Thanks for this response. Very helpful suggestions and thank you for your kind words. We are both taking time off work since we don't know what to expect. I guess I don't know if we should plan for 6 hour shifts, or 8 hour shifts? Or DH does tucking in at bedtime one night and I do it the next? I guess it's all relative to family dynamics but how others might go about doing this would be helpful. [/quote]

My kid was in the hospital a lot during covid.  The hospital was asking for no more than 1 change per 24 hours at that point.

We would switch out during a nap. The parent who was there would do the bedtime routine before nap (my kid found routine hugely comforting in the hospital), and then we'd switch out when he was asleep, because hospital policy was that the switch had to take place outside the hospital and that was way too stressful when awake.  Then the other parent would be there when they woke up, and repeat the bedtime routine at bedtime.  [/quote]
