"Could you do a video on where newborns should have naps during the day?"
For the first six months it's recommended that your baby sleeps in the same room as you for both daytime naps and night time too. This is when having a Moses basket is ideal because you will be able to move it from room to room between naps.
In reality babies often fall asleep in the car seat, buggy, sling or anywhere they are comfy. If this happens try to move your baby to the Moses basket, bedside crib or cot in the same room as you.
That way you can keep an eye on them while they are sleeping and also get a bit of rest too.
! Always follow safe sleep guidelines. If using a sling follow TICKS guidelines. Move babies out of car seat and remove outside clothing to avoid overheating.
