    Thanks ladies. I feel a bit better about buying it now. I think dh is sick of spending money on beds/bedding Harrison doesn't use, we bought the cot, cot mattress, tetra snuggle bed plus two covers, air wrap and all the cot sheets and bedding. Harrison hates the cot, he won't go in it. But I'm going to keep it all until after we have our next bub. I hadn't heard about baby hammocks until the other day or I would have got one to start with. Hopefully the hammock will work better. My back is killing me. Thanks for your replies.

    Jo,

    I am a huge hammock fan. To the point that I recommend them to everyone. My gf ended up moving her DS into one when he was around 5 months and it transformed his sleeping (and hers, LOL!) so no, I do not think you have wasted your money!

    sorry going against the grain here, I bought one for Sam when he was 3 months old, and to this day he has slept in it for a total of 2 hours. He was always a bad sleeper, so we bought the hammock out of sheer frustration, well $350.00 later and no change in sleep it is back in the box, waiting to be sold. I don't know if it is just him or because he was a bit older when we first put him in it but he just hated it. We have since spent $400 on sleep school which worked like a charm.

    Thanks Lucy and Clare. I will see how he goes. I can always use it for the next one if he won't use it.

    Just a quick update. Harrison sleeps in the hammock like an angel. He has been sleeping so well, and loves it. This afternoon he self-settled. We were listening though the baby montior he sang himself back to sleep, it was very sweet. I am amazed at the difference. It was the best thing I have ever brought.
