If you're sitting in the living room/living area during the day trying to get work done, where is your little one sleeping? Trying to find something to let him nap in during the day that's safe...

Why not just put him in his bassinet/crib? That's where mine sleeps even when I'm elsewhere. You don't need to be in the same room.

Crib if I get him there, blanket on the floor if not. (My place is small.)

If you'll be right there, fine to put in a swing or bouncer. Or get a pack and play or portable bassinet.

Do you have a video monitor..to me it is really just like being there? He does make it through the night while you are asleep...

Nope, floors are good! Plenty of space to figure out how their limbs work and basically no suffocation risk. I have wall to wall carpets though; if I had hardwood I might put him down on his play mat for a little extra padding. My four month old is dozing next to me as I type.

My baby has napped in the crib since she was a newborn, with a monitor.

We had a pack and play in the living room for the first several weeks and that was great while the baby could nap through anything. Somewhere around 4 or 3 naps a day, I can’t remember exactly, we transitioned to the crib.

Crib (or porta crib or some variation). That is the only place your child should be sleeping.

Carpets are a greater risk than a crib. Please just use a crib or bassinet.

My pediatrician has no objection to a blanket on the floor -- she actually encouraged it over any container. :shrug: Not sure where you're getting that a harder surface than a crib is more dangerous than a crib, especially with constant adult supervision.
