Hi Angela
I have been really impressed with the Amby Nest and would thoroughly recommend it to other parents. Shula is my third baby, and she sleeps so much better than the other two. It’s always hard to tell how much that is just down to individual difference, but I’m sure that a lot of it is due to the hammock. I was never into sleep training and my babies always feel asleep at my breast or on the move, but then it was very hard to put them down in their cot without waking them up. Partly because of this, and partly because co-sleeping seemed to have advantages, we always had the first two in the bed with us, but they woke up very frequently to feed, and ruby especially was a major wriggler so it wasn’t ideal. With Shula, I haven’t changed any of my habits, but when I put her asleep into her hammock she stays asleep, or I just jiggle her back to sleep. She sometimes even gets herself to sleep in there, and is very content just to be in there before or after she goes to sleep. She also sleeps through the night and I can see her half waken, but the movement of the hammock puts her back to sleep. On the odd occasion we managed to get the other two to sleep in their cot – even when they were older – they weren’t able to get themselves back to sleep. So the hammock has been brilliant and I take it with us when we travel because it’s snug and safe for her and means a good night’s sleep for us!

I’m also happy to be contacted by parents with email queries if that would help.
