I am seriously considering getting an amby baby hammock for DS but DH is against it at the moment so I need to try and convince him first but second I have a few questions and would like some feedback from users if they think it may help DS. As a side note I have PND and when I'm sleep deprived it affects my coping mechanisms so I'm continually searching for something that may help us both.

DS is a reflux and colicky baby. He is on Losec for his reflux which helps but the poor baby has a lot of stomach complaints. He pulls his legs up to his stomach and cries a lot. He is getting better at getting his wind up but we also have problems with his stools being too hard. He loves being bounced and rocked in our arms to soothe his discomfort. So question 1. If you had a reflux and colicky baby did you find the hammock helped?

DS surfaces between sleep cycles quite regularly and I have some success settling him with rocking the bassinet. He also squirms and wriggles a lot in his sleep even wrapped. Whilst sometimes it may only take a couple minutes of rocking having to get up multiple times in between night feeds is draining Question 2- does the amby help them transition through sleep cycles? Also if he is squirming does that mean he will be rocking himself with the movement of the hammock possibly meaning he won't wake up?

Other questions- can you still wrap them in the hammock? DS likes to switch between tummy sleeping and back sleeping depending on his mood is the amby back sleeping only? What age were you able to use it to?

DH is sceptical it will make a difference so his main problem is what if we get it and DS is still the same then we have another item to store that we would have wasted $$ on. I have looked at hiring one but can't find any so if anyone happens to know hire places in Perth that stock them please let me know.

Any other feedback would be most appreciated
