We are selling our NEAR NEW Hushamok baby hammock. The colour is Natural or cream in organic cotton. The frame is a silver metal. It is only 2 months old!! It has literally only been used a handful of times, as we regretfully bought this fantastic hammock when our baby was already 3 months old and now she is too big for the hammock (it fits up to 9kg). We wish we had the hushamok right from the start, as our baby was a shocking sleeper, refusing to sleep in a cot, and wanting to be held all the time. We bought the hammock in sheer desperation and within a few attempts had our baby finally sleeping out of our arms. We still have the box it came in, the carry bag and extra sheet are still in their plastic, and the hushamok is in perfect condition. Pick up from Killara (and cash on pick up please) will avoid expensive freight, otherwise we or you can look at freight options once you win auction. It is too big to post with Australia Post. Below is info about the hushamok taken from a baby website, for more info visit www.hushamok.com.au These hammocks are new to Australia, be one of the first to own one, at a fantastic price. This is the only one available on ebay!!
Hushamok baby hammock is the ultimate in baby hammocks. Don't throw money away at the cheap imitations.
The Hushamok's womb-like feel creates a restful and nurturing sleep environment that

of SIDS. Only Hushamok provides this experience
THE MOST AMAZING PRODUCT
If you're sorting through the plethora of options available in baby cribs and baby hammocks, then you may want to consider the Hushamok.
It's the curvy, sleek choice for those of us who like a more modern
look to our homes. It's available in brights and neutral colours and
claims to improve acid reflux by slightly elevating the baby's head.
Colic is one of those mystery infant conditions that can be greatly reduced through the use of hammocks. The Hushamok hanging device contains a patented leaf spring that will allow the
hammock to gently sway and bob to soothe a distressed and overtired
baby. The cupping shape that a hammock provides is also important for
maintaining good head position, and your baby will feel cosy and safe
in this cocooning environment.
The latest 2009 model hushamok is made from 100% pre-shrunk organic cotton and comes with a stunning
lightweight stand that is easily relocated and dismantled for travel.
The kit comes with a sheet in the same colour as the baby hammock and a travel bag, and the entire contraption weighs just 9kgs. It's a
way of sleeping that's been embraced by new parents for centuries and
it's logical that baby prefers a soft, capsule-like space after growing
in the womb for 9 months.
We just LOVE the Hushamok baby hammock which is now available in Australia! Parents around the world love the modern design and health benefits of the Hushamok experience and hollywood's hottest couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, are no
different. Their newborns Knox leon and Vivianne Marcheline love their
Hushamok experience infant sleeping hammocks so much that the
Jolie-Pitts keep the Hushamok on every level of their french chateau.
Additional celebrity fans of the Hushamok include trend-setting Gwen Stefani who said "the Hushamok is the
coolest thing ever", Jessica Alba, Toni Collette, Tori Spelling and
Dean McDermott.
Be the first to own your own Hushamok and be the envy of all you friends.
The Hushamok's womb-like feel creates a restful and nurturing sleep environment that
enables babies to sleep on their back, which is a key in the prevention
of SIDS. It also promotes longer sleep duration and helps soothes
colicky babies. Other health benefits include guarding against infant
acid reflux as the baby's head is slightly elevated when sleeping.
The Hushamok's unique design of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) foam supporting mattress
insert helps reduce the strain on baby's spine and nerves by
maintaining the natural primary curve of the spine. The EVA foam also
helps in reducing the problems of flat head syndrome(plagiocephaly) by
distributing baby's head weight more evenly to the rest of the body.

against potentially serious health concerns that can arise during
baby’s sleep. The innovative design of hushamok™ enables baby to sleep
soundly on their backs, which is a key recommendation in the prevention
of SIDs. hushamok™ creates a restful and nurturing sleep environment.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
While
a complete medical cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) remains
unknown, pediatricians agree that infants should sleep on their backs
to prevent SIDS. hushamok™ creates a restful and nurturing sleeping
environment, and is designed to enable your baby to sleep soundly on
their back.
Flat Head Syndrome (Plagiocephaly)
Hushamok Hammocks are designed to conform to babies head which helps to prevent flat head syndrome.
Positional
plagiocephaly or ‘flathead syndrome’ can occur when a baby's head
develops a flat spot. This occurs when babies spend a considerable
amount of time with their head resting in the same position. In the
early '90s, parents have been told to put their babies to sleep on
their back to reduce the risk of SIDs. Since then experts have also
noted a fivefold increase in the incidence of misshapen heads.
Babies
are born with soft, pliable skulls, so when they rest in the same
position on a regular basis, their head can develop a flat spot where
it presses against a mattress as found in typical cribs and bassinets.
Infant Colic
Colic
affects babies during their first few months of birth, and is
identified by excessive crying that can create unnecessary stress on
the baby and parent. Harvey Karp (M.D) Professor of Pediatrics at the
University of California, Los Angeles Medical School recommends the use
of a baby hammock to ease colic due to its gentle swinging motion and
snug design.
Infant Acid Reflux
To
prevent acid reflux in infants, pediatricians recommend keeping baby's
head slightly elevated. Without the use of potentially harmful pillows
or other objects hushamok™ design provides an elevation that will
reduce the symptoms of acid reflux.
Restless Sleepers
For
year’s doctors have recommended baby hammocks to help soothe babies
with restless sleep. William Sears (M.D), Robert Sears (M.D.), James
Sears (M.D.) and Martha Sears (R.N.) also recommend the natural
swinging, rocking and bouncing motion of a baby hammock to induce
sleep. Unlike adults, babies are triggered to sleep by motion; as many
mothers notice during pregnancy when baby is asleep during the day and
awake at night.
