First pajama party: our secrets

Pajama parties are a special moment in a child's life! The first pajama party is often particularly exciting, but also full of questions for parents. From what age can we plan a night at a friend's house, how can we make sure that the child is ready, what to do if the little guest or our child is afraid? On the occasion of the release of our Doli Duvet, we tell you everything about organizing a successful pajama party for your child and his friends.
Première soirée pyjama : nos secrets


Before going to sleep with a friend... questions to ask yourself!

The big question that bothers you: is the child ready to go to sleep somewhere other than at home? If he has already spent a night in a house other than his own, without his parents and everything went well, then yes. Otherwise, first experience it with friends or family before trying the adventure with a friend. As for age, there are no rules. The child should feel comfortable in this new stage.

Organization of the pajama party

For this first sleepover night, everyone needs to be relaxed: young and old! Make sure you know the parents and the other child as much as possible. Set a date, discuss everyone's habits. Define a scenario and activities for the evening. Remember to discuss everyone's eating and sleeping habits - schedule, ritual, bedtime and morning routines, children's recovery time. Make a plan in case of a major nocturnal panic or illness.

Preparing the room or suitcase

Prepare the child's room or his small things with a change of clothes, a day outfit, pajamas, his bathroom stuff, his stuffed toy, small toys.

Arrange children's mattresses that will give an air of festive camping... and will be useful for the adult who will eventually have to stay with the little sleepwalkers - parents say!

Is your child the guest? Suggest to bring blankets and comforters. So your cutie will keep his bearings for this new night. Discover our DOLI comforter, designed for these moments. Its backpack makes it indispensable when traveling.

Management of contingencies

Even with careful planning, the unexpected happens during a sleepover. Have backup plans in case of sleep problems, fear, or parental nostalgia. Also anticipate possible arguments or quarrels between children by reminding them of the rules of conduct and encouraging open communication and mutual respect.

Reminder of the rules

No need to turn into Nadine de Rothschild and be a stickler for labels, but before the evening starts, take the time to establish clear and understandable rules for everyone. Remind children to respect the property of others... and the concept of sharing! Encourage them to cooperate and help each other throughout the evening. Make sure all children understand the expectations and safety instructions to avoid any incidents during the evening.
