For a good few months DS (five months) has taken all his naps in his pram, in our hallway, pushed back and forth for a few minutes until he falls asleep and then left still. When he was in the carrycot that felt like the perfect solution - nice and close as SIDS guidelines suggest, but essentially in a cot. But he's outgrown the carrycot and is in the pram bit now. For a few days I put him in the cot but that was a disaster - so hard to settle him (and required endless rocking, which was really hurting my back) and he kept waking up crying after 10 minutes and not going back to sleep no matter what I did and so was really overtired. So we went back to the pram, but I feel so guilty about it. On days like today where we're going into town later it means he can spend nearly five hours (three hours of naps, two out and about) in his pram in a day. That's far too much, isn't it? It can't be good for his back? The seat is reclined back as far as it will go but that still means he isn't lying completely flat - it's more like a car seat angle. And that would be far too long for him to be in a car seat. Do I need to go back to the cot even if it means him not napping well and not getting much sleep?
