Baby comforter

Abstract

An apparatus and associated method for comforting a baby by providing a simulation of being held by a caregiver, such as a parent, family member, or guardian. The simulation includes a pair of simulated arms that may be wrapped around the baby or used to provide a surrounding support having the feel of being held in a person's arms. One embodiment includes a sheepskin or faux sheep skin base for warmth and comfort. The arms may include weighted hands for additional feeling of being held. The arms may be affixed to one another in the front (hand, wrist, forearm area) using hook and loop, stretchable band or straps or other fasteners. The arms may also be joined in the back to provide a raised support opposite the hands portion of the apparatus. One embodiment includes a simulated beating heart.
