    Question blankets when using a hammock

    Hi

    Bub is due in april, so will be sleeping in the hammock over winter. Not sure whether to use blankets as well as wraps, or just dress and wrap warmly. What do you reckon?

    If bub was going in to cot, i would have blankets, but in the hammock not so sure.

    ta,

    I used a hammock for my DS and I would definitely just dress/wrap warmly. I wouldn't recommend using loose blankets in a hammock.

    You'll find the hammock is quite warm already because of they way your bub moulds into it. I have just dressed my bubs warmly and swaddled them in the hammock .

    Yep same, the matress bit is really warm. Nate was always so snug when he came out. We just used a kidopotamus velcro wrap.
