The Amby is a wonderful invention! I frequently wish I could sleep in it myself. Our son started sleeping in it at 10 days old, and he would smile drowsily as I put him in it. He’s 4 months now, and huge for his age (19 lbs) but still fits nicely. Even when he wakes more frequently at night, it doesn’t panic me because I know that after addressing his need (usually hunger), he’ll go back to sleep in less than five minutes while I rock him in comfort from my bed.
We had to go on a road trip for 10 days last month, and brought the Amby along so that no matter where we stayed, he had his familiar bed, and it made all the difference. It was so easy to take down and set up, it fit well in the car, and I don’t know how we would have survived the trip without it.
It is hard on the back to frequently lift him in and out, so we have to remember to use good posture. We put a second mattress pad in it for warmth, and we use a little tube-pillow under his neck because his head was elongated when he was born, and it helped tilt his chin up and ease his breathing.
We love it, and consider it the single best thing we got for our baby. We’ll be keeping it in the family for this generation and hopefully the next as well. Thank you!
