Nature's Nest

Exhausted by sleepless nights caused by his colicky daughter, one desperate Australian father, Ambrose Hooi, came up with an idea – a hammock for a baby which is designed to emulate the natural feeling a baby experiences whilst in the womb.

The Natures Nest was established in Australia 16 years ago and since its conception 20,000 have been sold worldwide. It was launched into the UK three years ago and has become the most talked about baby bed on the market.

The Natures Nest has many benefits – it provides a more natural, tactile environment for babies to grow and develop, and is especially comforting for babies with special needs. A baby likes to be cuddled and swaddled, and the Natures Nest gives them that same feeling. If the baby is disturbed, the natural motion helps them to lull themselves back to sleep.

It has been proven to be highly beneficial to babies suffering from colic and reflux and for babies with more serious complaints like chronic lung disease and cerebral palsy.

Furthermore there has been a lot of press recently highlighting the growing concerns regarding Flat head syndrome (Plagiocephaly), saying it used to be viewed as just a cosmetic problem, but there is growing evidence that it can cause other difficulties. The Natures Nest allows baby to sleep in a slightly upright position so its head weight is more evenly distributed.

The Natures Nest is being used in hospitals both within the UK and worldwide with studies showing that it helps to encourage increased weight gain, better neurological development and increased alertness.

First time mum, Interior Designer and UK Style TV presenter Kathryn Rayward tried Natures Nest. She said;

“My baby daughter Roxy was three months old and literally hadn't had more than a couple of hours sleep at any one time since she was born. She was exhausted and we were exhausted. It was a nightmare.”

”At my wits end one night I came across your website and two days later the miracle arrived. Having assembled it that morning we put the cranky tired baby into it just to see whether she would like it or not and two minutes later she was fast asleep. It was incredible! This was a baby who never napped during the day unless being driven around the block and it didn't stop there.”

“My husband and I hadn't had a night together since she was born. We constantly had to walk about with Roxy until she fell asleep in our arms downstairs, waking up the instant we put her down. That night just as a trial we put her in the natures nest at seven thirty and lo and behold she fell asleep until her 6am feed!”

The Natures Nest is suitable for babies from birth up to 12 months and is available direct from Amby UK. Contact them on 0845 6031589, or visit www.naturesnest.co.uk. It is also available at Babyworld
