Parents often find that their baby is restless and cries during the night. The Amby’s design addresses many of the reasons why baby may be unable to get a good night’s sleep. Babies love to be swaddled - it gives them a feeling of security. The hammock provides the natural elements baby experienced for over nine months in the maternal womb. Babies are born into a world that is unlike anything they have experienced inside the womb. They crave closeness and they crave motion. Conventional cribs are firm and flat and provide little sense of security for baby. The Amby motion bed gives baby a slightly upright, soft, curved and contoured surface that gives baby the same snuggled feeling as your loving arms. A baby will usually awaken slowly and peacefully in the Amby, soothed by the gentle bouncing of the hammock initiated by baby’s own small movements, instead of the abrupt arousal often experienced in a crib. In fact, we have seen babies go from irritably crying to peacefully smiling when parents stop by the Amby office with a restless sleeper or fussy baby and mom places her child into the Amby. Prevents Flat Head In the early months, babies are prone to developing a flat area in the back of the head due to the disproportionate weight of baby’s head on a flat surface. Because the Amby allows baby to sleep in a slightly upright position, much of the baby’s head weight is more evenly distributed to the rest of the body. The short answer to this is YES, the hammock will go a long way in addressing this problem. The problem with cribs, bassinets and cots is that they have a hard flat surface. Practically all South East Asian and East Asian countries sleep their babies on their backs (a cultural thing). It appears that babies who sleep on flat hard surfaces e.g. the Japanese futon end up with flat heads. On the contrary, babies in South East Asia, particularly the Malays, who sleep their babies (on their backs) in sarong hammocks, have round heads Provides a warm swaddled environment Babies love to be cuddled and swaddled, and their favorite place to sleep is often snuggled close in mom’s or dad’s loving arms. When it is time to lay your sleeping baby down, the Amby’s soft bed and sides keep baby warm and snug throughout the night, while its breathable design promotes airflow to keep baby comfortable in warmer weather as well. The movement of the Amby makes the transition from a parent’s arms to sleeping in the hammock effortless. Instead of dropping the baby on a crib’s hard surface and hoping baby stays asleep, the Amby moves easily while you settle baby in the hammock, often without baby even realizing the change. Flexible Sleeping Arrangement The Amby fits easily in any room of the house and can be moved from room to room wherever you need baby to sleep. A corner of the living room or kitchen is a perfect place for baby to nap nearby. The hammock bed can slide right up next to you bed so you can easily reach baby during the night when you need to bring baby into bed with you. The bed sits 12 inches off the ground so baby can easily see you while you gently bounce the Amby to lull baby back to sleep. Safe The Amby is a safe place for your baby to sleep. The product has been thoroughly tested to both national and international standards by the world’s leading testing agencies.
