Amby Hammock - what bedding & clothing ? Advice please

[cinnamontam]

For anyone who has had one of the Amby hammocks can I please ask you what bedding and clothing you used? I have 2 of the fitted sheets but with my first due May 27th (8 weeks OMG) and summer coming on I have no idea what blankets or other bedding to use. I'm also not sure what I should be putting my LO in for sleeping in the hammock. Do I use a sleeping sack on a newborn? Do I swaddle her?

Many thanks in advance for your thoughts

Hi, no help here but am interested in what comes back as I'm thinkning of getting one of these for DS2. I guess I was just thinking of swaddling him (due in July) in a lightweight blanket on top of a vest and then popping him in the hammock... But it would be good to hear anyone else's thoughts

What bedding to use really depends on the temperature - it can get very hot over early summer. I am planning to use a vest and swaddling blanket initially, and add sleepsuits/blankets if lower temps demand them. When DS was still quite small he was just sleeping in a nappy some nights as it was so hot. You should get some advice from the hospital/health visitor about how much bedding to use.

i've got 5.5 week old dd2 in the amby in a sleeping bag atm, I think it's just a matter of being sensible, taking into account the weather etc. The instruction booklet tells you not to over wrap them so no huge blankets or anything.

Thanks for the info so far
