Settling her in a pram for her mid afternoon sleep sounds like a good idea especially if it has a bassinette attachment... can you move the pram around easily inside your house? My newborn spends most of his day in his pram, but it's a large one and I can wheel it around our whole house as I deal with my older children... I also sometimes walk to my DDs school to collect her and if my newborn is already asleep in the pram it's no problem getting out and about.
