All my four slept outside in the back garden during the day, suitably clothed for the time of year. I did have a big pram, but today’s prams are just as suitable. So why dont your babies sleep outside?

Both of mine did (now 21 and 11) in winter and summer as recommended by my grandmother, they were both good sleepers. As for people asking if YOU would sleep outside, I do, I have a lovely squishy reclining chair and my garden fleece blanket and often have a nap in the garden around lunchtime (I’m up at 4.30am) it’s lovely and I believe quite therapeutic. Maybe I’m just weird though.

Not weird, drained I love an outdoor sleep too...and WAY up thread I talked about my DH recovering from cancer treatment by garden sleeping. He loved it too. After weeks in a stuffy isolation ward he was so very happy to get outside.
