Traditional baby hammock

As every new parent has discovered, babies love being rocked to sleep.
Many experts theorize that babies are soothed by rocking because they associate the rocking motion with the movements they felt while nestled in the safety and security of their mother’s womb.
Thus, few newborns can resist the gentle rhythms that these baby hammocks provide; put a tired baby in one, start swinging or rocking it, and it is a stubborn baby that will manage to stay awake.
In addition, when a baby is put into the traditional hammock, his own weight pulls the fabric around him, creating a snug cocoon- or womb-like environment. For this reason, there is often no need to swaddle a baby in this old-fashioned cradle.
