I do agree with leaving the baby to cry if it is in a safe place but what is really important is finding what works for you especially if you are getting to the end of your tether. I think this is a situation where there is no right answer, how to cope will vary from person to person. The hamock does look great though, I saw an article on the BBC news recently where they are now being used in incubators as it helps the babies stay on their backs longer.
