Amby Baby Answers Top 10 FAQs
(ContentDesk) August 25, 2005 -- Amby Baby answers questions about the accreditation, safety and usage of their internationally distributed hammock.Question: SafetyHow safe is the Amby Baby Hammock?Babies sleep in the SIDS recommended supine (on the back) position in the hammock. In addition, the Amby Baby Hammock has been tested and passed by the American Standards (JPMA), British Standards (BSi) and the Japanese Standards (JMGSL). Distributed internationally for more than 10 years, the Amby has been used extensively in hospitals, child care centers and thousands of homes. Question: AccreditationWhat does the JPMA accreditation mean?This certification is the highest standard we can attain and we are pleased to be in this elite group of worldwide manufactures association and be recognized for our adherence to safety. The JPMA is an international trade organization representing 95% of companies responsible for the manufacturing of child and infant related products and is considered a highly regarded United States certification authority.Question: Duration of useWhen should babies start using the hammock and how long should they sleep in it? The Amby Baby Hammock is an early development product designed for newborns up to 12 months.
Amby strongly suggests using the product when baby is born. Attempting to use Amby later in the baby's development can be successful however each case needs to be evaluated. We know the Amby works well from infant to 12 months and sometimes this may be as long as 7-9 months before transitioning occurs.Question: Weight Limits What are the weight limitations? Each package includes a spring equipped to hold up to 25 pounds. A heavy-duty spring may be purchased separately which holds up to 40 pounds. The Amby Baby Jump Jump is recommended up to 25 pounds.
Question: Sitting upAs my baby gets older, how do I prevent her from sitting up? Amby Baby: By placing a small toy on the crossbar, when your baby wakes up, she will begin playing with them. This may prevent your baby from sitting up and allow you to hear her right away. We do not recommend leaving baby in the hammock without supervision while baby is awake at any age, but this is especially important for the older baby. We advise placing baby in hammock while he is sleeping or very sleepy and taking baby out of the hammock right away after waking up. Question: TransitioningIs there a specific technique to transitioning? The hammock is an early development product for newborns up to 12 months.
As far as transitioning goes, it really depends on the baby's personality; if they develop their "independence" faster than others, then they won't need the closeness and comfort of the Amby and will want space sooner.
As for transition, we suggest looking for signs of when baby is seeking to transition: arching their backs when being placed in the hammock, restlessness, not taking to the hammock after baby has been accustomed to sleeping in the hammock for sometime. Question: Rolling OverCan my baby roll over in the hammock?Yes, eventually when the baby becomes strong enough around 4-6 months baby will be able to roll over on its side or tummy, with effort. The hammock's design is not ideal for tummy sleeping because of the sling design. Sleeping on the tummy in any hammock is not suggested for long.
Reflux babies should sleep on their backs because it is more assuring. If your baby continues to like the hammock and occasionally sleeps on its tummy then monitor baby as you would with any bed. Question: Chemicals Should I be concerned about the bedding being treated with flame retardant chemicals? The Amby Hammock has not been treated with any fire retardant chemicals. The foam is made from a polyethylene material that is cured and very commonly used for bedding. Our mattress cover is made from 100% cotton fabric.
The natural cotton is pure natural cotton with no dies or chemicals.Question: Water ProofingIs there anyway to water proof the mattress?Amby does not advise that you to put a waterproof cover over the mattress because this affects the air flow, but some parents have placed something near the bottom half of the mattress. This helps keep leaks from soaking through to the mattress pad, and will allow you to simply clean the baby up and place the extra sheet over the mattress.

Baby Bassinets
Baby bassinets are portable cradles. The difference being that a cradle is bigger and is usually left in one place. A bassinet is smaller and portable. Most come as complete sets including the bumpers, sheet and mattress. Occasionally even a baby blanket is included to match the theme of the set.
The average price is anywhere between $60 and $120 including the accessories. However, you can find them anywhere between $40 to $300. When looking for a bassinet find one with a sturdy bottom that will support the mattress. Also check to see that the spindles are no wider than three and a half inches apart for safety. They are used for the first 3 to 4 months.
After that the baby will usually have outgrown the bassinet. ? Copyright , All Rights Reserved..

The Advantages of Memory Foam Pillows
Along with the success of mattresses and mattress pads made of memory foam came the advent of the memory foam pillow. Made of the same gel-like polyurethane compound that both cushions and supports the contours of your body, memory foam pillows are a great way to rest your neck and head. Say goodbye to neck aches, both at home and on the road. With a memory foam pillow, you can say goodbye to a lot of the neck aches and cranial pressure points associated with regular cotton pillows. Memory foam pillows come in a variety of shapes and thicknesses.
A memory foam contour pillow, often called a Swedish neck pillow, is filled with thousands of microscopic "cells" that can deform under pressure.
When you rest your neck, shoulders, or head on it, the air in the deformed cells moves to neighboring cells, creating contours that obey your shape. Many manufacturers of memory foam mattresses and mattress pads offer memory foam pillows as well. They range in price from $20 to...
