If your baby is older than 7 or 8 weeks and in the hammock for the first time, it's possible that he won't like either the hammock or the banana position. In this case wait until he's old enough for the kangaroo position - success guaranteed!3. Positioning baby in the sling/hammock
If you're finding it difficult to lay baby in the already-installed hammock, you may find it easier to first lay the sling in the playpen, spread it open, lay baby inside and then shut the clasp as last.4. What to do if baby is agitated or cries in the sling
5. How long can baby stay in the hammock?If baby is agitated or cries and is not hungry, try calming him by giving a pacifier or your pinky and/or gently rocking the hammock at the same time. The swaying movement often helps calm the baby. If baby is crying the first time you put him in the sling it's possible he needs more time to get used to it. Don't give up but take the time necessary so you can both get used to the sling. If after a few minutes baby still isn't settling, try another time when baby is in a good mood.
Baby can stay in the hammock until he's ready to get out6. Make sure baby is warm enough!
Make sure baby is warm enough. A hammock is not a mattress and doesn't store heat. This makes it nice and cool in summer and a bit cold in the winter. NEVER place a mattress or pillow in the hammock.
