Placing Baby into your Baby Hammock

Once all parts have been assembled, open domes and you can begin to place baby into the hammock. Before placing baby into hammock, you may want to practice with a doll until you are comfortable.

Hold baby safely with one arm, either close to your side or on your hip. With the other arm keep hammock steady. Place baby into hammock ensuring that baby's head is up as far as possible to the top of the mattress. Baby's feet should be at the snap end of the mattress.

Make sure baby is lying straight in hammock. You may need to adjust wood separator and mattress until it is straight.

Once baby is comfortable and blankets (if required), are placed, then fasten snaps.

WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE ALL SNAPS ARE SECURELY FASTENED WHILE USING HAMMOCK.
