Anyone used an Amby Nature's nest?

Have posted this in sleep but realised that only people whose babies don't sleep very well are likely to see it

But yes, Amby nature's nest? do they really make your baby sleep better? I loved the convenience and the cuddles co-cleeping with DS but I established a frequent night feeding pattern that I'm keen to avoid if I can this time round. (he didn't get into the habit of sleeping through until he was almost 2)
Have heard that Amby's are great for getting babies to sleep better and longer? what are your experiences?

Thanks!

Our dd was in it from her second night, and used to sleep well and solidly as a newborn for stretches of about 3 hours. It was v easy next to the bed to give it a nudge every now and then to rock it a bit if she was restless. For daytime naps as well, if she wasn't going to sleep we could just 'bounce' it gently which would usually send her off. She didn't get a flat head, or colic, and when she outgrew it we got the 'jumpjump' attachment, which she absolutely adored.

However, it can be tricky to get a baby in and out of when they get a bit larger, and if yours rockets up the centiles like ours did, you may find that it's too awkward by about 5 months. It certainly won't last until they move into a bed, so you will need a cot later on. That said, I would still wholeheartedly recommend it, and in fact two of our friends have bought them after having a go on ours.

thanks octavia. i thought it would last a while longer than that. will have a think...
