I've had my baby girl..and a question
Hi,
My beautiful baby Nina was born 3rd March weighing 9lbs 2 oz. So, I will probably be back on baby forum a bit more again once things settle down a bit!
We're doing well but one question...I know it's still very early days but she having longer stints of sleep during the day so going longer between feeds during the day than at night. I've been putting her down in her moses basket upstairs for all the sleeps (so she's up there alot), but wondered if I need to start having her downstairs during the day? What have you all done? Ultimately I would like her to nap in her cot during the day but do you think it's too early & she'll have problems distinguishing night and day if I keep doing this now? x

Its really early days still but like lara says, try it and see if it makes any difference.

it is each to their own, but if you are happy with her being upstairs, then leave her there! i didnt with my first, but did with 2nd and 3rd - they are the better sleepers, and always have been by far!
it will take her a few weeks to know what is really day and night, so you may feel that you can change the pattern then instead of now!
But it'll take a wee while but she'll soon learn night and day are diff. Well done on baby Nina though. S x
It worked out easier this way for me and got them sleeping through sooner too.

Congratulations, I love the name Nina

welcome and congratulations!
I think that if she's happy to sleep upstairs during the day then it should help to to sleep in her cot during the day as she gets older.
Just try to keep day different to night - in the day talk to her more loudly and keep the room light. At night try not to speak and keep room dark. - then she'll still learn the difference between day and night.
