Ventilation wise, we have a little desk fan that we put on whenever she sleeps alone, not blowing on her but just air-rating the room - keep the air moving and makes it fresher in there. I read somewhere that this can help reduce the risk of SIDS.
I've read that too. Apparently it can help distribute the CO2 that can pool around their faces.

We also used one of the pads from her Angel Care Sound and Movement monitor in the pram as well
Us too! Very handy as DS could sleep in our room in his pram as we have a single bed in the nursery when my dad would come to stay.
