Title:  love love love it

I have never written a product review before -- but the Amby baby bed nature nest deserves such high praise and acknowledgement! My baby starting sleeping in the hammock when she was 3 weeks. By one month she was sleeping 5 or 6 hours uninterrupted. I had to ask midwives, my mother, and other new moms if her sleeping was normal? was she ok? they all laughed and told me how lucky I was ...!
My daughter is now 9 weeks old and has been sleeping through the night for a week now. She goes to sleep about 9pm and wakes up around 6:30am then I feed her and she goes back to sleep again until 8 or 8:30.
She rarely ever cries when she wakes up - most often she just makes enough noise so that I know she is awake and I go in to find her very content in the hammock or sometimes looking at the butterfly mobile we have hung from the bar of the hammock.
I could just be lucky and have a good sleeper -- but I strongly suspect the Amby nest has a whole lot to do with this!
Thanks for a brilliant product and looking forward to 9 more months of using it, too.
Sincerely,
Well rested Mom and Dad.

Title:  Simply brilliant!

We bought a Nest after a friend told me she was contemplating one for her baby. At the time we were struggling to find a safe first bed for our baby as we have 3 cats and after speaking to Amby we purchased the mosquito net to go around the Nest which has provided us with a totally 100% safe suspended bed for our baby. The cats can't get near! An added bonus which justified the cost was being able to convert the Nest to a bouncer later (as we have no door frames).
Our baby is now 5 months old and this product is simply brilliant. She first slept through the night at 5 weeks old and she has never woken once since that night. I put much of this down to the Nest. She often stirs at say 7am but the motion of the Nest often sends her back to sleep and we frequently have to wake her on a morning after 10-12 hours sleep!!
There's lots of things we love: - the way our baby looks so snug - the way the blankets tuck under the mattress at the edges her so she can't pull them out and suffocate. - the fact she didn't have to move out of a carrycot at 3 months like most of her peers - unlike in her cot she can't roll or move - she's snug and stays in one place. She always looks cosy and settles quickly. - the way the Nest converts in seconds to the bouncer - which is one of the best bouncers I have seen with the rigid frame - the way she rocks herself back off to sleep if she stirs - how safe she is from the cats - best of all we love the massive smile we get every morning when we open the net up and peer in :)
We are travelling in a few weeks and its fab to know the Nest can come too and give continuity. Also we purchased the bigger spring and we hope she will stay in the Nest a long time.
The only thing which people need to be aware of is that the base is quite large and you need a lot of room for it. It's much bigger than a Moses basket - more like cot sized.
Oh and I have cared for children for 18 years and if I had seen one of these before I would have recommended one to every parent I had ever met! Nature's Nests are brilliant!

Title:  Amby Nature Nest

The Amby Nest is FANTASTIC! I bought this on a recommendation from a friend - but have to say as its not widely known just yet (and doesn't look like a 'traditional' baby bed, everyone thought I was mad!
Last Night my 9 week old daughter was put to sleep by 8.30pm and only woke up once around 5am and then at 8am. I look forward to the coming weeks...
Would highly recommend this to all New Mummys... x
I'm sure it must be the Amby Nest that is working some kind of magic.

Title:  A Great Night's Sleep

I really had to write in to say how impressed I am with my daughters Natures Nest Hammock. My daughter totally loves it and usually falls asleep within 5 minutes of being put to bed. She was very premature so she was absolutely tiny when I was finally able to bring her home from hospital. She didn't sleep very well at first because she was lost in a cot and even a Moses basket was too big. I love the way the mattress wraps around her tiny body. The first night she slept in her nest was the first night I had to wake her for her feeds. She sleeps right through now and is all smiles when she wakes in the morning. I can't recommend this product highly enough. I am able to enjoy time with my daughter without feeling shattered and stressed. I have a cot for her but we never use it. I also love how portable baby nests are; forget buying a travel cot, a nest is all you need.

Title:  The best baby thing you will buy

I was obsessed about buying a hammock before my baby was born as i had read all the reviews - everyone around me was sceptical and did not believe the results .. i am so smug now ! My baby has been sleeping in her hammock since she came home and she loves it and i love the amount of sleep i get - she has been sleeping through the night now for weeks and all my friends are still getting up for night feeds .. my baby is now 10 weeks old. I cannot recommend this hammock highly enough - if there is one item you need .. this is it

Title:  Amby Natures Nest

The Amby Natures Nest is the most amazing baby bed that I was given as a baby gift by my parents and best friend, my son is now 3 months old and has been sleeping all night from 9pm to 8am since he was 8 weeks old, he settles instantly when I put him down in his Natures Nest. My mum had been told about the Natures Nest and was given such a first class review and I have to say I am very glad that I never bought a cot instead as my Son loves going to bed and i'm getting a full night sleep aswell, I have myself at any opportunity advised parents to be of the Natures Nest and I will continue to do so, Absolutely first class baby bed.
