Where do you put baby to sleep during the day? In your living room or in another room? Do you darken the room during the day while they sleep? Do they already have a sleeping routine during the day ? (8 weeks old)

I try to do bright and loud so that he's use to sleeping anywhere. Especially when we start doing long days out. I know of some babies who nap in dark and quiet environments that cannot sleep anywhere else.

bassinet in her room with blinds

Cot at home day and night. He sleeps in the pram when we are out

We have a moses basket that she sleeps in throughout the day if she isn't sleeping on us. She sleeps fine with noise and brightness xx

My baby started becoming more awake during the day at this stage, but still napping. I just interact with her as long as she’ll tolerate and get her off to sleep when I notice she gets tired.
I have her in the living room, and keep it bright and with noise, as you normally would.
Now she sleeps longer stretches at night, so I would say although they probably don’t have a good sense of day/night, a routine could start to form now but they’re still so little.

Baby should be in the same as you for all sleep until at least 6 months ◡̈
as a newborn she just slept on my chest wherever I was so usually the sofa, and I’ve never made an effort to darken or quieten any room and now at 3 years old she can sleep in broad daylight and in the middle of a pantomime 😆

I baby-wear even when baby sleeps, I think it’s important to expose baby to noise and light so they can sleep wherever you are, not under certain specific conditions (dark room with dim/dark light). That said, I do usually slow down when baby’s asleep: read a book or watch a movie or eat some food ☺️

Our first was in his bassinet pram in the living room with us during the day, we tried to go about our day as normal to keep him used to noise and thats our plan with our second too.

My baby is 2 months old and when she sleeps I put her on her feeding pillow and let her sleep on the couch next to me

Contrary to comments above, my first born who is now 3 always slept in a dark room with white noise for naps as well and it gave me hours of free time during the day as he slept better under those circumstances. It was never an issue for him to sleep elsewhere whether loud or bright because he just simply knew that we aren’t home. However, for my 10 week old I’m keeping it bright and noisy simply because I need them both in the same room with me. It’s just for convenience, otherwise I’d put my newborn in a dark room too and enjoy longer naps x
