Some of the main benefits of using a baby hammock are:

• Baby hammocks provide your child with a cradled environment which feels similar to being in the womb. The familiar feeling provides a sense of security for your baby and promotes a settled sleep.  
• A baby hammock helps to evenly distribute your baby’s weight, causing less stress on muscles and joints, minimizing the risk of ‘flat head’.  
• Baby hammocks naturally cause baby to sleep with their head slightly elevated. This is particularly helpful for babies with chronic reflux.  
• Properly designed hammocks keep babies sleeping on their back – the safest sleeping position for babies.  
• Baby can be easily settled back to sleep by a gentle swinging of the hammock. As baby grows and begins to wiggle on their own, the movement of the hammock means baby will often settle themselves back to sleep.  
• Baby hammocks are completely portable. No matter where you are staying, baby gets to sleep in their own familiar bed. They are lightweight and take up less space than a traditional portacot.
