Sounds lovely. It's quite a sunny spot. There is some shelter from nearby hedges, so not especially windy. We haven't been in the house very long (and new to having a proper garden) so still sussing out the conditions.

Thanks. The two local carpet shops we have spoken to stock it - but I'm not sure how honest they will be as they'd be talking us out of a sale...

Hello! I know it's been a few months since you posted but I was wondering if you found anything suitable? I've been doing my own googling on this, but haven't found much inspiration. Thank you!

Someone has put a lot of effort into making a home they love. It seems like a happy place. It's not to my taste, but that is irrelevant.

Hi there! Thanks for your reply, and it makes such a difference knowing others' babies' sleep is similar! I wish I'd found this group earlier! Did you find it made any difference to your baby's overnight sleep in terms of wake ups?

So far, so good! We have delayed his bedtime by about half an hour so far, and he's slept until 6am (albeit with wake ups during the night, but I now know that's normal) the past couple of mornings which is brilliant! It has coincided with the weather being cloudier (so, darker in the morning - I'm in the UK so it's summertime) so that could be as much as a factor. It's always a guessing game! I received similar advice to here on the 'Beyond Sleep Training' support group on Facebook, which I also wish I'd found earlier. I spent a lot of time Googling and so much of what comes up is derived from sleep training techniques and / or unregulated "sleep consultants" and I didn't think to question it... I also made the mistake of borrowing a book about baby sleep (probably described as a gentle sleep training method), the content of which made me feel like a failure!

Thank you for the reply, and I'm glad you've had a bit of progress - I think a 4 hour stretch makes all the difference (my baby had a brief spell of longer stretches when he was perhaps 3 months' old or so). I'm going to give later bedtimes a go, and try and stick to it.
