Amby Baby Hammock

I must admit, I'm intrigued. My son suffered from reflux, so this bed might have helped. However, given the price of the unit, and the relatively short life of its usefulness, it does not appear to be a sound investment. Chances are, you'll be buying a new baby bed inside of six months, because the baby will be able to move around enough to pose a falling hazard. If you don't mind having to purchase a new bed at that time, then it could be a great idea, though.

We used the Amby and really liked it. I did purchase it on Ebay so the cost was somewhat reduced. Plus, I plan on (God permitting) using it for future children and/or letting relatives borrow it. My little one slept very well in it for the first four months of his life and then we transitioned him to his crib. Good luck!

Hello A.,
I am PG and also due in Aug. I also have a son that will almost be 4 when the baby gets here. Also am living in a 2 bedroom apartment!! Amby is a wonderful product. I, myself have never owned one, but my friends have and they love it!! The new baby will prolly be in a bassinet for a while then take over the crib my son is now in and I will get him a toddler bed or something. Good Luck!! Hopefully we can chat!! Just remember to always use caution when buying online!!

I just looked at the Amby baby hammock online and it looks like a very complicated version of the hammocks that my in-laws use for their babies in Ecuador. There they use a blanket or sheet folded and tied at each end with rope. Then they hang the whole thing, i.e. from the parents' bedposts diagonally above the bed or from the sibling's upper bunk hanging over the lower bunk. I think you could do a lovely improvised version like this for cheap to free.

i got one for a shower gift and also a co sleeper and i kept the co sleeper and sent back the hamock i love my co sleeper

I don't have any experience with the Amby, but I did purchase a co-sleeper when I was pregnant. After our son was born, we only used it a few times, and then he just started sleeping in the bed with us. I would nurse him to sleep, and it was a lot of trouble to keep moving him and usually waking him up in the process.

I don't know anything about the amby hammock, however I was in the same boat when my second child was born. We resorted to a pack n play. It worked great! Like I said I don't know anything about the amby baby hammock, however be sure that there is some sort of support in it, the spine is growing and you want support so it is growing properly! Just my two cents! Good Luck!
