Daytime nap locations 4 month old

Hi all

My DS has started to roll over from his back to front so it’s time to stop using his Moses basket and bassinet which is where he has his day time naps. He’s only just 4 months old so not ready to sleep in his own room/ upstairs during the day while I’m downstairs.

Where would you suggest he has his daytime naps? What has worked for other people at this age?

Thanks!

Pram? Or buggy? Depends which one you use. Or travel cot. My lo wouldn't nap in any until older and was a contact napper. Any of above would be all good.

Thanks, I’m moving him to the seat part of the pram so I’ll try that.

Mine has always done daytime naps in the pram.

Yes I agree, pram, travel cot, sleepyhead etc

I think fairly soon I’d also be comfortable letting the baby have one nap a day in their cot to get them used to it, as long as you were following other safe sleeping guidelines / didn’t smoke etc. Appreciate that’s not for everyone though

My baby still used the pram bassinet when they started rolling...they're recommended to be used until 6 months anyway so I wouldn't automatically stop using it just because they can roll.
