Hi Pinky,
In my other life as a Babycharmer :)LOL I found
that slowly acclimatising babies to change works best. Can the parents safely
tie the hammock in the cot and slowly lower it until it lies flat on the
bottom? Might work. Julie'',

question
Hi all - anyone?? Any suggestions?
A question from a parent that has me a bit
baffled - I get several every day and most are totally straightforward.
Interestingly most babies parents enquire about are sleeping long
stretches - mine never slept 12 hours -at any age!!
The
challenge we are currently faced with is moving (baby) from a
baby
hammock to a cot. (baby) is now 6 months old and has been
sleeping
successfully in a hammock for the last 4 months averaging around
12 hours
sleep solid for that time. We are currently reaching a point
that he will
out grow his hammock so we will have to put him into a cot.
We have tried
this a few times with the same result. He will go to sleep
on his back and
stay there for about 20 minutes and then because he can
roll now he rolls in
his sleep and wakes himself up. We are both unsure
of what to
do.
