[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is stupid.  I really doubt anyone seriously believes that it is in this child’s best interest to have his/her parents arrested and go into foster care.

Agree.  This is absurd.  The baby was in a safe space (crib), secured in the bedroom and the parents were nearby.  They weren’t even a car ride away.  They were in the same building.  The chances the hotel catching on fire are slim to none.  Your house could also catch on fire while your kid is sleeping and you aren’t in the same room as them [/quote]

I agree with this. I think people are being a bit too crazy. A sleeping baby in a crib is in a safe space.

I haven't done it but there's quite a few hotels I frequent where the lounge chairs/bar area are in view of my hotel room. It would be really nice to leave sleeping kids to relax with DH. My kids cannot sleep when dh and I are in the same room as them. [/quote]

I have friends who would do this. They would put one cell phone in the hotel room and take the other, leaving them connected to each other. Baby monitor, but cell phones (there's probably a way to do it with an actual monitor and phone these days). How different is that than in your own house? Not much.

That said, I don't know anyone who would go to a different building. Restaurant or lobby in the same hotel is a different story.[/quote]
