A Baby Hammock Can Be Far Superior To a Crib
Most parents will tell you that bringing a baby into the world is a profound experience. For many, they realise it is the essence of life itself and the reason we exist on this earth! The joy a new baby brings is unmatched.
Sleeping, on the other hand, can become something of a distant memory! If your baby has problems with colic and reflux then you are likely getting no more than a couple of hours sleep in any one session. If this sounds familiar then read on!
It is only really recently that we have used cribs and cots to try to get our babies to sleep. Mostly in Western countries have we "advanced" to this situation. In developing countries such as Africa and India the baby Hammock has been used for centuries if not millennia!
There is a reason tried and tested methods such as the baby Hammock are used. Simply put, they work!
Now, we in the west are rediscovering this ancient method. Parents who are using a baby Hammock invariably find that baby gets more sleep which in turn translates to Mom and Dad sleeping more. This makes for a happy family all round!
Infant colic can also be substantially reduced by using a baby Hammock. More than 90% of babies get colic and it is a distressing experience both for the baby and the parents. Hour upon hour of inconsolable crying takes its toll on the parents and it's really horrible to see your baby in such distress.
A baby Hammock helps with reducing colic symptoms because of the motion. A gentle swaying or bouncing movement is something which almost all colicky babies respond to. Yes, you can achieve something similar with a rocking crib but they are nowhere near as effective as the baby Hammock.
The reason a baby Hammock is so effective as far as the motion is concerned is because it is a three-dimensional motion which again simulates how the baby would have felt in the womb. There is no doubt that this has a dramatic effect on the baby and this has been seen time and time again in babies who are lucky enough to sleep in a Hammock.
One of the other reasons for babies enjoying the Hammock experience so much is believed to be because the shape of the Hammock emulates that of the womb and this makes the baby feel comforted and reassured. Having personally used a baby Hammock with our daughter we are 100% converted.
At 11 weeks our beautiful daughter is sleeping in her Miyo Baby Hammock for almost 7 hours overnight! Truly a wondrous thing. She also had very bad colic and the Hammock has helped hugely with that too. We would highly recommend a baby Hammock to any parent.
You can find plenty of suppliers on the Internet and you can check places like eBay and Amazon to get good deals. Yes it's a significant investment but it's one which we believe is well worth it.
Here's to you getting your seven hours of sleep!
