thanks ladies, things are much better now. Its been 3 and half weeks now. I find that the darker it is sometimes the easier he goes to sleep.
As for your little un gettin out, they will get use to it, i think it took about a week and ben was fine in it.
If he does get out at nap time, i just leave him in there, and if he doesnt sleep i put him to bed about an hour or so earlier.
I know if i make an issue out of it he wont settle, so i just go with the flow, but most times he does sleep in it for 90 mins at naptime.
