Both of our children and their cousin have used the hammock for 8-10 months. They rocked themselves to sleep once they reached the 5-6 month mark. The only challenge was moving them on from it.

My son loved his hammock! We used it for approximately 10 months (and has since been used by another newborn for over six months, and I’m waiting to get it back for Baby #3!)! I wish I had this for my firstborn!! I would put my son in, gently rock it and walk out! That’s it... it’s also lightweight, so it’s easy to move around the home. And it’s slim, so it can fit beside your bed even if you don’t have much room. I recommend this to every new parent!

My 2 month old loves this hammock. He wouldn't sleep anywhere but my chest or in an unsafe rock and play. Thankfully, he sleeps 3-4 hour stretches happily in this hammock. I wish I would have gotten this for my first baby. And I wish they had an adult version for me! It sways when he cries which sometimes sends him back to sleep without any work on my end.

We have four kids and all spent 15-24 months in the hammock. Our eldest got too tall for it but it helped him with his ventouse cone head. The other 3 also slept perfectly in it for as long as we could keep them in there. We bought it as we read it stopped them rolling over, and sure enough we never had that issue. The added benefit was that it packed down easily into the size of a long bag and meant they had their bed wherever we were, which was awesome for getting them to sleep in strange places. We still loan it out now to those who will break with convention and give it a go. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Researched and bought hammock, because our baby girl has reflux and is very unsettled. Many long nights.

Although I could bounce and swing her, she wouldn't settle enough to sleep. I'd end up always taking her out and she spent the nights In the cot instead. I tried different heights and played around with elevation, but she didn't enjoy being cramp and squashed up, with not much freedom to stretch out her legs. So by 6 weeks she was becoming more comfortable in her cot anyway because she could stretch out and turn her head more comfortably, which seemed to sit her.

Look, I loved the idea of the hammock. I bought one when my son was 3 months old and too big for the moses basket. He was a more wakeful baby, and I hoped it would help after reading all the glowing reviews. Well, within a month he was sleeping 6-8 hours at a time and we thought, amazing! It totally works. Well, spoke too soon on that one. At 5 months almost to the day, he began waking every hour despite the hammock, which persisted. He had no reflux, no medical issues, just a wakeful baby. After three weeks of getting up a stupid number of tim...

Wish I had used a hammock (if only I'd known about them!) My DD is so content in it! She's only 6 weeks old and by 2 weeks she was already sleeping 6 hours over night. its amazing. I had 2 colicky babies and had to sleep them on an angle and try to get them comfy in a bassinet but my new Bub the difference is amazing!!! Can't recommend enough. Best baby shower gift ever! Nothing beats mum having a good night sleep!

We loved our Amby hammock. I (and many people I know) was a little sceptical at first because it's so different from the traditional bassinet, but knew we'd made the right decision when a midwife visited our house a few days post-birth, and she commented that she recommended the Amby hammock to anyone having difficulty with colic or reflux (we were lucky enough to not experience either) - she knew many parents who had benefited from it. A CHN also told me she thinks hammocks are a great way for babies to sleep.

My little girl slept soundly...

I thought I'd write this review for parents such as myself who are struggling with a challenging baby that doesn't sleep well and looking for something that will help. We were pretty desperate when we decided to purchase the Amby air baby hammock - at 3 months of age bub was still waking every 1 or 2 hours through the night and never sleeping more than 40 minutes (but often much less) during the day. Silent reflux had been diagnosed at 11 weeks, which explained her excessive crying, and the medication stopped the crying, but the sleeplessness r...

I loved the idea of a hammock, but was a little unsure at first. My babyboy looked so tiny in it! - and all the fear mongering around me didn't help. However, as my son settled in happily, my confidence grew. A few months later and we are both absolutely loving the Amby Baby Hammock experience. He bounces himself to sleep and settles in easily - or at least must easier than he has on the few occasions when I put him into his cot. At almost six months it's getting a little snug, but I'm definitely keen to continue using the hammock for as long a...

We've used the hammock for all three kids and I've loved it. It looks beautiful and they settle so easily in it. It's great to be able to bounce them back to sleep so easily when you're half asleep yourself. Only draw backs where it's hard on your back being so low to the floor. When I had the third baby I'd injured my back since I'd last used it and I found it difficult on my back. Also I had big fat babies and by close on 6 months they were getting to squashed in it so I had to stop using it even though weight wise they could have stayed in it.
looks, perfect for newborns , babies like it.
hard if you have a bad back, outgrew it too fast , expensive.

DS1 was a difficult day-sleeper, so when I was pregnant with DS2, we decided to buy an Amby hammock. We love, love, love this hammock. He slept in it for day sleeps from birth - 12/13 months (when he no longer wanted to be confined by the hammock). He learnt to self-settle by wiggling a little, which bounces the hammock. It is very easily to set-up/dismantle too - so we have taken it to playgroup, parties, on holidays, etc to ensure DS2 could have a good sleep. We have just started using it for DD1. She will sleep less than an hour in the cot, ...

The Amby is the most worthwhile investment we made for our daughter. She slept in it from birth to 9 months. She is a big baby weighing almost 12kgs by the time we transitioned her to her cot. She never once tried to roll in it, and I believe that she was such a settled baby primarily because of this fantastic product. The Amby is just so beautifully snug around them. I have often commented on how great it would be in an adult size.
I have now passed it on to my best friend who's previous babies have been difficult to settle (as were my previo...

This is one fantastic bit of kit! Our little one has been sleeping in it since he came home from hospital at 4 days, and he is now 3 months old. He sleeps in it day and night, and seems to love it. In fact, even when he wakes up after a nap, he will sit in it for a while without crying - I think the bouncing motion when he kicks keeps him happy. I have the hammock set up next to my bed, and so can rock/ bounce bubs to sleep after his night feed whilst lying down myself. Result: both bubs and I get more sleep every night! The only worry I have i...

I read alot about this from different sites. Bubs sleeps reasonably well in it- also great to help rock her back to sleep. I got the white one and its very pretty- would definately recommend getting a spare mattress just in case- very easy to clean and light weight although the stand is quite large.
Bubs sleeps well and is easy to rock her to sleep
Stand quite large but definately secure! Quite low so can be a bit tricky putting baby into hammock

We originally bought a Miyo Baby Hammock for when our daughter was first born (as it looked much nicer than the Amby one) but she grew out of this by 4 months and so we bought the Amby hammock instead.
Now 13 months old, our daughter still sleeps in her hammock and loves it. When she was smaller we used to swaddle her before putting her into it but even now she still has never tried rolling onto her tummy in it (and she is a very active baby in general). When she wakes up we go into her room to find her using her tummy muscles to bounce hers...

Overall I think it was a very worthwhile purchase for us. We also have the old style wooden rocking cradle, but feel that the hammock is safer as bub starts to move and roll more. Again wished I got more use out of it with my 2 older kids.
Has been great for my 3rd bub. Wished I had bought it for my 1st child.
It's so easy to get baby to sleep in and also a great space saver if you don't have room for a cot next to your bed. I just swing bub in it at night sometimes when she wakes up to get her back to sleep. It's also so portable, something y...

- Cheaper than a cot @ $298.00 inc. mattress.
- Easy to clean - throw it in the washing machine.
- Mattress fits in "King" size pillow case.
- Comes with a carry bag.
- Frame fits through door frames so can be moved easily from one room to another.
- Child is able to self settle due to the motion.
- Cool and airy in Summer (We have an average temp of 42C and she sleeps in it day and night).

At the hospital I used the crib they provide and my baby screamed and screamed. At 4 days old, she started sleeping in her hammock and would only ...

This is honestly the best baby thing we brought (I think I've raved about it so much that everyone in my Mother's Group is buying one for their next baby!). Our daughter slept in hers from day one until she was about 10 months old (in a sleeping bag) and swapped to her cot really easily.
Excellent concept. It's fantastic when bub is very young and learning to sleep as you can settle them in their own bed rather than picking them up to rock them. And it's small enough to have next to your bed. You can take it everywhere with you - it's really s...

I loved the hammock when my baby was a newborn and up to about 4 months. He slept really well and quickly slept long stretches through the night. When he did wake up, it was easy to 'bounce' him back to sleep without breaking your back. The manufacturer claims that the hammock can be used until the baby is 2, which I find hard to believe. Several of my friends also used this hammock, and none of us got more than 6 months' use out of it as babies just get frustrated in it once they are a little more mobile. I would use it again, but move my...
