Hammock

PS. Sorry I wasn't very helpful :-(

I bought an Amby baby hammock when my DS1 was 10 weeks old. He was an unsettled bub who would only sleep during the day in my arms. The first time I put him in it he slept for 2 hours! It was awesome . It is definitely worth giving it a try

I inherited a Natures Sway hammock for my DD1 after seeing firsthand the success it had with a few friend's babies. It was, hands down, the most awesome piece of baby equipment we owned.

I handed it back to my friend for her second baby and loaned it again for DD2. That hammock had now been successfully used for 5 babies, soon to be another.

My two DD were completely different sleepers, one slept like a dream anywhere I put her and the other would only sleep in my arms or in the hammock. They both loved it and I did too, loved rocking them back to sleep at night without having to get out of bed, loved being able to move it around, loved the look of them all snuggled up in the cocoon of fabric and loved the way the both just relaxed into it as soon as they hit it.

DD2 went into it a bit later than DD1, mainly because I forgot I had it! But just like Trish she had the longest sleep of her life the first time I put her into it!

They were both in the hammock for about 8 months each. DD1 was moved as she wanted to roll over, DD2 was moved as she was trying to stand up in it, and did manage it at one point but both transitioned to the cot really well at that stage.

Hope you find yours as good as I found mine!

thanks guys.
I am soo excited but it looks like I will have to wait til Monday to get it

Just wondering- Can bubs sleep on their side in the hammock?

[~Trish~]

No, don't put bubs on their side. There is a risk they will roll onto their tummy which would not be safe.

Good luck with it!

My BIL (who likes to quash anything that sounds good), sent me an email of a product recall from 2009 for the hammocks...it said that the hammock are unsafe as baby can get stuck between mattress and hammock. It freaked me out alittle but Im still going to try for sure. I have heard alot of good things about them

The recall in the USA was a knee-jerk reaction unfortunately. There were two cases of suffocation (with over 50,000 sold worldwide), but in both cases the hammock was assembled and used incorrectly. Please just make sure you follow the assembly instructions and you will be fine
