    I can't see a problem with that if it works for both of you that's good! If he sleeps in his cot alright at night then you know he is ok with settling in his cot. Probably prefers pram as that is what he's used too in the day x

    millie doesnt normally have a nap but if she does she will sleep wherever! i think that is best when they can do and go wherever u want xx

    Livvy sleeps in her cot if we are at home she still has two naps a day, and if we are out and about she sleeps in her buggy but not along as she does in her cot at home think it is because I have black out blinds and it it nice and quiet and she just loves her cot image

    carson used to sleep nice and long in cot in day, and still does in pram at times, but overall i think its less.

    If he sleeps in the pram during the day and sleeps in the cot at home then Im sure it will be fine. Does he settle down by himself at night?

    If you go out for the day or you go round to family, is he ok at following asleep if hes not in the pram?

    Im sure its fine, so long as he can settle himself during the day and doesnt rely on a bit of movement if that makes sense.

    If it works for both of you during the day and he still settles ok in his cot at night, I don't see a problem with it. Personally the main reason I prefer my ds to nap in his cot/bed at home at the moment is so I can rest while he's asleep, which I can't do if he sleeps while we're out - but I'm 32 weeks pregnant! I do like him to be able to nap in his pushchair/car seat though, I think it'd be making a rod for your own back to have a child who will only sleep in his own bed and nowhere else.
