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.
