As featured in "Gentle First Year: The Essential Guide to Mother and Baby Wellbeing in the First Twelve Months" by Dr Gowri Motha.

The Amby Nature's Nest Baby Hammock promotes sound sleep through comfortable hammock design and springing motion.

Choosing a bed for your newborn may be one of the most important decisions you, as a parent, will make.

In the first 12 months or so of life, a baby spends a considerable time in bed. Clearly therefore everything should be done in the selection of the environment that he will call 'home' for those critical first months of life.

Recent clinically controlled studies confirm that by providing physical contact, enclosure and rhythmic movement, young babies, whether full term or premature, demonstrated significant improved physical and psychological development.

Natures Nest Amby Hammock was developed from the knowledge and understanding provided by this medical science which pinpoints how 'well' babies and acutely 'sick' babies best survive, grow and develop in the first 12 months of their life.

Natures Nest simulates the perfect conditions of the maternal womb so that your baby can experience the same spatial restriction and sensory stimulation as he did for nine months. Here your baby can still enjoy what nature provided - the gentle vertical motion (as mother moved and walked) and the tactile security of the womb wall.

Best of all in Natures Nest your baby will lie naturally in the approved SIDs recommended supine(on the back) position.

The slightly elevated head position of the Nest is also an essential for babies with chronic reflux problems.

Once correctly placed in the nest, it is virtually impossible for your newborn to turn onto his tummy until it is time and safe to do so!

The Amby Baby hammock motion bed design has an upright, angled position assisting babies with natural sleep, colic and reflux.

Breathing Study

Medical School, University of Otago, N.Z.

Carbon Dioxide Test (rebreathing) - 1993
Amby Motion Bed Test Results: Carbon Dioxide Testing

Hammock was tested with a mechanical model of a 3 month old infant. This model breaths warmed, humidified gas with an end expiratory plateau of 5% carbon dioxide The head of the model was placed face up, face to the side and face down in the hammock.

Results face up: There was no significant increase in inspired carbon dioxide

Results with face to the side: Not touching side material, inspired carbon dioxide rose to an average of 0.32%. Touching the material, inspired carbon dioxide rose to an average of 1.28%

Neither of these levels would be considered dangerous.

Results face down: Very variable as it was difficult to keep the model face down, without it rolling back to it's side or back.

Assessment: Pass

Overall there is minimal danger of rebreathing even if a baby rolls on to it's side against the material. We would like to see a warning on the package not to place babies in the hammock on their front (prone). Because of the design of this product we think it unlikely that a baby will roll on to the prone position or willingly sleep prone in this product.
