Why Amby?
The best chance in life from the very start
Clinically controlled studies confirm that by providing physical contact, enclosure and rhythmic movement, young babies, whether term or premature, evidenced significant improved physical and psychological development.
The Amby Baby 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. These studies clearly evidenced that with the right type of environment and stimulation the following benefits are found:
-
increased weight gain
-
better neurological development
-
increased alertness
-
heightened hearing and visual functioning
-
decreased irritability
Safe and sound
The Amby Baby Hammock simulates the 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, your baby will lie naturally in the supine position (on their back) which is recommended by International and Australasian researches and promoted through SIDS health campaigns. The slightly elevated head position of the Amby Baby Hammock is also an essential feature for babies with chronic reflux problems.
Why vertical motion rather than side to side?
The vertical motion replicates the movement of the womb as mother walks, producing feelings of suspension and floatation which greatly pacifies the most uncomfortable, distressed and aggravated infant. As your baby moves and plays in the Amby baby hammock, he creates his own gentle stimulus of motion. As he grows, the more this becomes a fascination for him! The Amby baby hammock stimulates movement, an integral part of toning up baby's muscles and increasing his neurological muscular coordination.
Babies who feel safe cry less
Other than the very basic needs not being met, such as hunger or discomfort (wet nappies, too hot or too cold) babies cry for more complex and sensitive reasons. Reasons that until recently have not been recognised as being directly related to their distress. These days the idea of 'letting him cry it out' might not seem so appropriate (eg. controlled crying). The quickest way to produce disturbed, interrupted sleep is to isolate your baby in an empty room in the unfamiliar territory of an open, still and flat surfaced bed.
Babies need to be assured that you are close at hand. They cry less when they feel safe and secure.
A wonderful place to be
The rapid adjustment to hard flat open surfaces such as in a standard cot/bassinet is just too much to ask of a newborn! Searching for their 'lost' environment, they strive to regain the comfort and support they so recently left. In the Amby baby hammock, you'll find your baby will soon discover the world to be the wonderful place he so eagerly needs it to be.
Sleep patterns can be quickly transformed from erratic, short and disturbed spells, to deep peaceful nights and contented days. Waking up will be a slow and pleasurable thing as his stirring will activate the spring into motion, often lulling him back to sleep again. That's the power of the Amby Baby Hammock.
Mobility – light and easy to move around
The Amby Baby Hammock is fully portable and designed to be easily moved from room to room so that your baby can be with you wherever you may be. In many cultures very young infants sleep next to their parents or at least in the same room. This gives the baby an added sense of security.
Weighing in at about 9 kgs, it is light and portable enough to pack away into the Amby Carry Bag and then into the boot of your car.
Engineered for Comfort and Safety
There are NO hard surfaces, NO restraining devices, NO electronic parts around your baby - just the natural perfect balance of extraordinary comfort and sensory stimulation.
The Amby Baby Hammock allows free flow of air around the unit making it light and airy and fully breathable! (Cool in Summer, Snug in Winter)
At about 20 cm’s from the floor while he soundly sleeps, you will be free from the nagging worry of your baby falling from the full height of a cot.
Your baby's weight will be distributed evenly with NO pressure points to worry him.
The unit comes with a fully quilted mattress and machine washable bed. The tough metal frame is scratch resistant and can be assembled in minutes.
The Amby baby hammock meets all available safety standards and has been fully tested by independent safety laboratories, hospital trials and the thousands of happy parents who have used them for their babies
Grateful Parents, Happy Doctors
No parents can forget the stressful experiences caused by the relentless crying of a distressed, colicky or reflux baby. These days, doctors are reluctant to administer powerful drugs if there are other options.
Today, the Amby Baby Hammock can be found in neonatal intensive care, nursery and burn units, safely relied upon by medical professionals in leading hospitals for even the most fragile babies. It is also equally 'at home' in child care centres, hospitals and thousands of homes for 'well' babies
Safe, simple and affordable, the Amby Baby Hammock gives your baby the best chance to start life blissfully contented, perfectly well adjusted and predisposed to healthy growth and development.
It is the most logical and natural transition from the womb to the outside world during that critical first year of life!
