Moonboon baby hammock
Why use a hammock?
Some newborns sleep very well, but there may be times when the little
ones have trouble settling down – those are the times when the hammock
is useful. The movement gives baby a familiar feeling of being in mom’s
belly, and being rocked is particularly soothing for the child. This makes
most children succumb to sleep.
For how long may baby sleep in the hammock?
Your baby may, in principle, sleep in the hammock for as long as neces-
sary, but no two children are alike. Should you be uncertain whether you
are overusing the hammock, we recommend that you consult a health
professional who is qualified to assess your baby’s sleeping patterns and
sleep requirements.
May baby sleep in the hammock overnight?
At Moonboon, we always refer to the recommendations issued by the
health authorities. At this time, they have not issued any specific recom-
mendations for the use of a baby hammock. Therefore, we suggest that
you go with your instinct as a parent.
While baby may certainly sleep in the hammock during the night, keep in
mind the following: A hammock is not a substitute for a bed. Baby needs
to sleep on a firm mattress. If baby is able to turn over, it is important not
to let him or her sleep in the hammock without supervision. Baby must
have the opportunity to turn the head, and the head must not be pressed
against the chest.
Should you have very specific questions about your baby and your use
of the hammock, we recommend that you speak to a health professional
who is qualified to make assessments of your situation.
Why are plastic parts included with my baby hammock?
In August 2021, the Danish Safety Authority reported that there have
been cases of children getting metal splinters in their eyes due to unsuit-
able metal hooks used to hang sensory swings, bird’s nest swings, and
baby hammocks.
Moonboon does not sell metal hooks but, in the light of this new an-
nouncement, Moonboon has developed plastic parts for all Moonboon
hammocks to completely avoid metal on metal.
