Short Nappers

How can the Amby Baby Motion Bed help babies take longer naps?

Parents invest a great deal of love, time, and energy into a new baby. While every moment is well worth it, for a busy stay-at-home parent the only time of day when you really get a break is baby’s naptime. Many babies take nice long naps two or three times a day. Some babies, however, will only stay asleep for short periods before they begin to fuss and stir themselves awake again. The only way to get such babies to take a long nap is to carry baby around snuggled in a baby carrier. While “wearing” baby during naptime does build closeness and enhance bonding, sometimes parent will feel they never get a moment to themselves.

Why Dr. Sears endorses the Amby Baby for nightime and naps

“Perhaps the most common question I get as a pediatrician is “How can I get my baby to sleep better?” I have always been an advocate (and a practitioner!) of the family bed – sharing sleep with your baby so you can all get some good sleep. I realize, however, that some fussy, high need babies may not sleep well lying flat. Some babies are very restless sleepers, tossing and turning throughout the night. Some babies really crave motion and sleep much better in a slightly upright position. Such babies, of course, won’t sleep well in a traditional crib, and most parents are reluctant to try the strict “cry-it-out” approach because they don’t feel it’s right for their baby, or them.”

The Amby Baby Motion Bed can give your baby that long nap that you both need. Whenever baby begins to move around, the Amby spring provides a gentle rocking and bouncing motion that soothes baby back to sleep. Baby may stir several times during a nap but not wake up due to these natural movements.

Another advantage of the Amby is that it’s so portable, you can have baby nap anywhere in the house so that you are never too far away from baby.
