Baby hammocks can be hung from the ceiling, but ceiling drywall is not supportive enough to hold the weight of the baby and hammock. Proper installation of your baby hammock will ensure your baby is safe.
A baby hammock creates a snug place for baby to sleep close to you and be lulled to sleep by gentle motion. A hammock is intended for newborn babies up to about 33 lbs. or around 2 years of age, when the baby's length is past the snaps. Carefully follow the instructions for installation to ensure safe use of the hammock.
There are two types of baby hammocks available commerciallly. One is a miniature, suspended hammock that rocks your baby to sleep. The other is a length of fabric that fits over your shoulder, while the baby is cradled inside. The sling hammocks are comfortable for you to wear and a secure, snug place for your baby. Commercial baby hammocks can be expensive, but you can make your own at home. Homemade baby hammocks are easy to make and allow you to choose the fabrics used.
Do you have trouble getting your baby to sleep? Baby hammocks are the answer. Mimicking the natural motion and cushiony quarters of the mother's womb, baby hammocks are the natural and safe way to get your baby to sleep through the night. They also enable babies to sleep on their backs safely and comfortably. But don't spend money buying an expensive factory made baby hammock. Make one yourself.
Hammocks are a common way for babies to sleep in many parts of the world. Designed to imitate the cradling and constant motion that babies receive while they are carried in the womb, hammocks are often more comfortable for young babies than a motionless crib or bassinet.
