You can keep them in the hammock for ages, depending on the baby. Jovie was out of hers around 5 1/2 months, but I've known babies to stay in up to 10 months. They are fantastic for refluxy babes.
ETA: For some reason our society is hell bent on keeping babies from doing things naturally. We seem to be set on routines and fixated on what a baby "should" be doing. I get so angry when I hear people telling new mum's that their babies should be sleeping in a set routine. Whose routine is it?? Why do babies have to sleep in a cot?? Who said so? I'm sorry but I haven't seen any 12 yr olds sleeping in their cots or bassinets still or in their parents beds unless its okay by everyone. I have a neighbour who keeps telling me to finish breastfeeding.... I keep asking her "why? who says I should?" because all I can find is information on continuing breastfeeding. Opps... sorry for the rant.
