Baby Hammocks
Little babies are so soft and squishy it is hard to put them down at all. Sometimes you can’t and end up carrying the baby all over the house with you. You have to put the baby down sometimes though and this baby hammock from novalnatural.com seems like a great place to be. As an alternative to a baby swing, this hammock provides gentle rocking motion in a comfortable hammock. It can be adjusted to both an opened and a closed position for sleep or for play. It is made in India and is cotton with wool padding and also a five point harness for safety.
Baby can stay in it longer then a traditional swing too because it is for babies 0-18 months and up to Hammock holds up to 66 lbs. It is priced a little higher then a baby swing at $99.99.
I would love to try this for my new little one, due in March.
There is also the Amby baby as a alternative to a bassinet. Recommended by Dr. Sears this baby bed is especially helpful for babies with reflux, colic or preemies. It also prevents flat heads or plagiocephaly, SIDS and acid reflux. It is also portable and adjustable. This hammock is available in blue, white and natural raw cotton. The basic set includes a mattress, frame, spring, hammock and crossbar, set of two matching fitted sheets and a travel bag is $227.95.
Have you tried one of these hammocks? Would you recommend them to a new parent?

we bought one for our daughter in feb 2008. it worked really well but she decided that she just didnt like sleep that curled up, and the matress was awful. it was just cheap foam and sagged very quickly ( within weeks) we couldnt lie her in a good position on the misshaped matress so decided to bite the bullet and put her in a cot which she loves.
