Amby Baby Hammock

While the Pollywog Nursing Positioner is great for feeding, what about when baby is sleeping? There is nothing worse than laying a baby with reflux down on a flat surface to sleep. Whether you have a diagnosed reflux baby, or just a fussy baby that doesn’t like his or her flat sleeping surface, you might want to consider the Amby Baby Hammock.

Originally from Australia, the Amby Baby Hammock has been a hit with parents for over 10 years. The Amby “natural motion bed” helps soothe babies by providing a cozy nest which surrounds them, rather than a flat, unwelcome surface such as a crib mattress. The hammock hangs from a spring, and the bed can move in any direction if so desired. It has been a life saver for many parents who found themselves holding their screaming newborn all night long. Since it is slightly elevated, the baby’s head is higher than his feet, helping to reduce reflux pain and spit up.
Another nice benefit of the Amby Hammock is that it has been quite successful at preventing SIDS. Out of about 25,000 units sold, there have been no known SIDS deaths.

If the price of the Amby Hammock throws you for a loop, consider that it can replace a crib, an infant swing, and a “jumpy seat.” That’s what we called ours, anyway, but you know that seat with a spring that you attach to the top of the door frame? Amby makes those as well and you can attach it to the Amby frame instead of the door frame. Learn more about the Amby Hammock, and best wishes for a peaceful night’s sleep!
