I know! After the initial resettle at 40 mins he cried out 2 or 3 times, and I barged in ready to say "good mooooorning moopy!" and he was asleep again LOL

The lady I spoke to at the hire place said they often don't work for older babies, but I figured given his propensity to sleep in the pram and sling it might still work for us. I've hired for one month, and given it's still working I'll do it for another 3 - still much cheaper than buying one

When I was looking for a place here in Melbourne a Perth place kept coming up - google baby hammock hire in australia - hope it helps you!

Not sure how long he'll keep it up, but while he's happy I'm happy
