Why a hammock?
When the birth of your baby is imminent, you will start thinking about the basic equipment. You will think about what clothes, furniture and sleeping arrangements you would like for your baby. Many parents opt for a hammock - but what exactly is a hammock? Why is it useful and what advantages does a hammock offer for parents and baby? We have put together a few basics for you.
Especially at the beginning, many babies have trouble falling asleep and sleeping through the night on their own. Mom or dad's arm is often the coziest place for this. And this is where the cradle comes into play: The up and down movements of the cradle remind your baby of the time in the womb and gently rock it to sleep. This gives it a sense of security and safety. The cradle basically replaces your arm and your baby can fall asleep peacefully and take a nap.
You can use the cradle from the first day of life. This is the best way to encourage your baby's rest and sleep times.
How does a hammock work?
The cradle is a special type of cradle: it consists of a large piece of fabric that is held apart by a spacer board. In the cradle, your baby lies on a mattress lined with organic new wool.
But the suspension of the cradle is crucial. The special thing about a cradle is the hanging suspension, because unlike standing cradles, there is no permanent strain on the child's back. Cradles automatically support the natural rounded posture of the child's back.
The springs work particularly well when they are adjusted to your child's weight. That's why PAULI & CO has special springs for the early and later phases. This is the only way to ensure that your child has the best possible swinging behavior for as long as possible. You get different springs that are based on the child's body weight. This means that the cradle grows with the child! The springs are made of particularly high-quality spring steel. All other metal parts are made of first-class, rust-proof stainless steel.
You can hang the cradle on a hook or attach it to a door frame with a metal clip without assembly. There is also the option of hanging the cradle on a particularly stable and robust wooden stand. This way you always have your baby with you and are mobile. Our wooden stands made of solid wood not only guarantee an absolutely secure stand, they also match any interior style thanks to their design and warm natural wood tone.
The cradle is very light and can be easily transported when you visit friends or grandparents.
What makes a good hammock?
There are many different hammocks in many different designs. All of them give your baby a feeling of security and calm. However, the cradles differ considerably in the material used and in the design. To ensure that your baby has an optimal sleeping environment, we think it is important that all materials are natural. We have opted for cotton fabrics and a mattress lined with organic new wool. Natural sheep's wool naturally ensures optimal temperature balance and maximum security for your baby. You can also wash our mattresses yourself, as we use wool from a special breed of sheep that does not clump or felt so quickly.
To ensure that the PAULI & CO cradle fits well into your living atmosphere, we have opted for a fresh, Hanseatic and minimalist design. The subtle colors and patterns fit well into your home.
Please make sure that your hammock is TÜV-tested and certified according to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® Class 1. This gives you proof of technical and chemical safety.
How long can a hammock be used?
Although the maximum weight of the cribs has been tested at 12kg, you should stop using the crib when your baby has reached an age where it can turn and turn itself. You should not leave your child unattended in the crib. Therefore, the hammock is not a substitute for a proper bed and longer periods of sleep.
