Oh I am so silly - i forgot to tick the box, which would have sent replies to my email as well, and thought for 2 days that nobody had replied to my question (only had a few seconds here and there to check, so no time to actually enter the forum)...and now i see all your great replies! Thank you so much - seriously, i cannot tell how comforting it is getting this sort of advise when you are going through such a tough time at home, and are desperate for a little understanding and good tips. Helen GV - thanks for offering to come and see your hammock. If it is not too much trouble I would love to pop by. I'll pm you. Melbourne Groover - yep, will definitely try to get one second hand. And our boy is tiny so my guess is he'll probably fit nicely in the hammock... Nancyse 15 - not yet, but I have an appointment booked tomorrow with a cranial osteopath! I hope so much that it will help settle the discomfort of my little angel...can't wait to try it out alieh - thanks so much for offering to borrow your hammock. I have no idea where Thames Ditton is, but will look it up with my husband. I will pm you, if we decide to take you up on the offer :-)
