The baby hammock for rent: Gentle rocking for peaceful baby dreams

Babies love movement – ​​whether in the womb, in their parents' arms, or gently rocked to sleep. A spring cradle promises just that: a feeling of security that soothes newborns and helps them fall asleep more quickly. But when is a spring cradle a good idea? Are there any disadvantages? And is it better to buy or rent one ? This guide tells you everything you need to know about spring cradles – including tips on what to look out for.

What is a baby hammock?

A spring cradle is a suspended cradle made of fabric, which is attached to the ceiling, a door frame, or a mobile stand using a sturdy steel spring. It allows for gentle up-and-down movements and provides the baby with a secure environment, similar to the womb. Spring cradles can be operated with or without a motor and are available in various designs, such as with a stand or as an electric version.

From what age can a baby hammock be used?

Baby hammocks are suitable from birth and can be used up to a weight of approximately 15 kg. They support the natural development of the spine and provide the baby with a sense of security. However, as soon as the child begins to sit up or roll over independently, the use of the baby hammock should be supervised to ensure safety.

Advantages of the spring cradle

• Calming effect : The gentle up and down movements remind the baby of the time in the womb and can have a calming effect, especially for crying babies or children with colic.
  
• Promoting sleep : Rocking helps many babies fall asleep faster and have a more restful sleep.
  
• Relief for parents : While the baby sleeps in the spring cradle, parents have their hands free for other tasks.
  
• Flexibility : Spring cradles can be attached to various locations, such as the ceiling, the door frame or a stand, and are therefore mobile.
  
• The baby hammock is an ideal item for rent. It can be thoroughly cleaned by the provider, and hygiene and safety can be 100% guaranteed.

Disadvantages of the spring cradle

• Habituation effect : Some babies may become so accustomed to the movement that they have difficulty falling asleep without it.
  
• Limited usage period : As soon as the baby begins to sit up or turn over independently, the use of the spring cradle should be restricted or supervised.
  
• Space requirements : Models with a frame require corresponding space, which should be taken into account in smaller apartments.
  
  

Baby cradle with or without a motor?

Spring cradles are available both with and without a motor.

• With motor : A motorized drive keeps the cradle in continuous motion, which can be particularly helpful for babies who take a long time to fall asleep or wake up easily as soon as the rocking stops. However, the duration and intensity of the rocking should be adjustable to avoid overstimulation.
  
• Without a motor : This version is quieter and reacts to the baby's own movements, creating natural vibrations. There is no risk of persistent overstimulation.
  
  

The decision depends on the individual needs of the baby and the preferences of the parents.
