Hammock History

Baby hammock is designed in such a way that it hangs from the ceiling on a wooden pole. A futon mattress is inserted into the hammock so that the baby is comfortable while resting. The hanging cot ensures that your baby is swayed to sleep as soon as you place him in it. However, baby Hammock is far better and secure than the conventional cot because you can place a mattress inside the hammock which makes your baby get a good sleep and prevent your child from waking up.  Amazonas Koala Baby Hammock is a fantastic alternative to any cot or Moses basket as it lets your baby be safe. Its gentle rocking lulls your child to sleep in enough comfort. The shape is such that the baby's back doesn't get stressed and also helps to balance his body.

Spanish colonists noted the use of the hammock by Native Americans, particularly in the West Indies, at the time of the Spanish conquest. The word comes from a Taíno culture Arawakan word (Haiti) meaning "fish net". Early Hammock were woven out of bark from a hamack tree, and later this material was replaced by sisal fibers because it was more abundant. One of the reasons that hammocks became popular in Central and South America was their ability to provide safety from disease transmission, insect stings, or animal bites. By suspending their beds above ground, inhabitants were better protected from snakes, biting ants, and other harmful creatures. Hammocks were introduced to Europe by Christopher Columbus[citation needed] when he brought several of them back to Spain from islands in the present day Bahamas.
