i don't think im allowed to tell u where to hire a hammock from, but just look in your phone book under 'hire' and you will find some baby hire places there. They say bubs can sleep in a hammock til 12 months but it really depends on the baby. DS was out of the hammock at 5 months cause he was strong enough to turn himself over onto his stomach then he would get stuck, but if your bub isn't that restless u could prob keep her in it longer, ours was worth every cent. We paid $75 for either 3 or 6 months, i can't remember, it seemed like alot of money at the time but it was a godsend i would have paid $300 for it!! i just remembered that when he slept in the hammock i would also have to turn on the radio for him. Goodluck
