Hi Krisp, well i'm yet to try it for myself as DS slept in a crib when he was small, but i always had to rock him to sleep. I reckon he would've loved the hammock. I haven't heard of any babies NOT liking it when they've tried it. Evan eventually grew out of needing to be rocked/BFd/carried to sleep so i'm assuming baby #2 will too. There are some great girls in the baby/toddler section who have used these hammocks and can give some advice/information.
