I've found that my son sleeps better during the day in the lounge room. He sleeps well either in a rocker or on a towel on the floor. Sometimes I'll put him in his room during the day but he tends to wake more in there. I think the noises around him (including from the TV) help settle him. I've been told by the lady who runs my mothers group that it is not a good idea to get babies to sleep anywhere else but in their cot and that I will be causing problems when he's older. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if she's right. Mind you she's not got kids of her own so has no idea of what its like to have to settle your own child. I bet she doesn't do it by the text books when she gets around to it. MY MCHN who has grown kids doesn't think it's a problem.
Our lounge room is also darker than his room as it has only one window which is tinted. Once the blinds get shut it's very dark in there. It's still quite light in his room during the day even with the blinds shut.
