How does the Miyo Baby Hammock help establish good sleeping patterns for your baby and teach them to fall asleep by themselves?

'Self-soothing' simply means the baby learns that they can relax themselves and fall asleep without having to be rocked asleep. The hammock helps babies to do this as when there is any movement by the baby, the Miyo Hammock spring translates this into a gentle rocking motion, and so to sleep baby goes. When babies wake during the night they don't tend to go from a deep sleep to screaming in a second, it is a slower process. Again, a slightly awake baby will move, this rocks the hammock, putting them back to sleep before they start crying. The baby learns that sleep comes easily and just as importantly they do not become dependent upon somebody picking them up to cuddle them as this in itself is a reward for waking up and screaming.

This is the very first step in establishing good sleeping patterns and is the basis for why over 80% of babies using the Miyo Baby Hammock were reported to be sleeping through the night by 4 months old.

Up to what age can our baby use the hammock?

From newborn up to 9 months of age for both day and night sleeps which means they will move straight into a cot so no other bed is needed. If you use the travel adaptor you don't even need a travel cot.

Although an older baby can fit in the hammock, the spine starts to strengthen at 9 - 10 months and research shows that for optimal spinal development they should be sleeping on a flat surface from this age.  Once baby can sit up by themselves, for safety reasons, they should no longer use the hammock.

The maximum recommended weight for use of the baby hammock is 15kg, however it has been tested for up to 125kg.

How is the babies spine supported in the Miyo Baby Hammock?

It is very important for babies spines to be held correctly in a flat and neutral position. The Miyo Baby Hammock is designed to ensure exactly this and has been confirmed by paediatric doctors, chiropractors and midwives.

Can a baby fall out of the Miyo Baby Hammock?

The hammock is designed to keep your baby very safe and secure. The way they lie in the hammock means that whilst they have free movement of their arms and legs it is nearly impossible to roll onto their front, let alone crawl out. A good way to understand this is to imagine how difficult it is for an adult to sit up in a hammock!

Can I wash the Miyo Baby Hammock?

Use mild natural soap solution on a dry soft cloth to clean all parts. Wipe away any moisture with a dry soft cloth.  Please also check care labels and instruction booklet.

How does the travel adapter / door clamp work and is it safe?

The adaptor rests over the top of a door frame. It is cleverly designed so that the greater the weight pulling down on it, the stronger it grips. They are fully safety tested for strength and include a door stopper to keep the door open. The combined weight of the travel adaptor and hammock is less than 6 lbs meaning it is one of the lightest and most compact travel cots available. Even more importantly, it means that your baby has their own bed that they know and love whether you are at a friend's house, grandparent's house or on holiday somewhere.

How much space does the Miyo Wooden Stand need?

If you can fit a cot in the room, you can fit the frame. The three legs of the frame means it is very easy to position in a room and fits beautifully into a corner. The curved wooden sections of the frame lie next to each other when taken down which allows it to be stored easily. Many people take the frame when they travel as it fits easily into a suitcase.

If you need a space saving solution, then installing professionally-fitted hooks into ceiling joists allows you to suspend the hammock anywhere you like using the included chain.

Is the Miyo Hammock covered by a warranty?

The distributors have a 24 month warranty on all parts, excluding the mattress.  If you purchased the Baby Hammock from Swish Lily and require further information please contact us.
