So the transition to a bed is 'no big deal' to them. They appear to cope with it quite easily. We get asked this question quite often by parents who bought the hammock for their babies. So far, with tens of thousands of hammocks used in Australia, we have not had a single letter from a parent complaining about the difficulty of getting their child to switch over to a bed when it was time to do so. From birth to about 12 months or more.
Many babies sleep in it for much longer.
Ideally it's best to use the hammock from birth. In fact many mothers in Australia take the hammock into hospital with them. However, there are also thousands of babies who start using the hammock anywhere from a few weeks to seven or eight months old. It appears that even at that age babies take to it quite easily. This must not be misconstrued as 'baby wanting more room'.
