Abstract
An infant sleep support device includes a semi-rigid curved support having head support, stomach support, and leg support surfaces covered by a padded cushion that simulates a mother's anatomy. Panties having elasticized waist and leg openings are secured to the curved support by straps, and are extended over the infant to secure the infant to the curved support. Shoulder straps may also extend over the infant's shoulders. The curved support is maintained by a frame member in an orientation that positions the head support surface horizontally. The frame member may suspend the curved support for rocking motion, and the curved support may be removably attached to such frame member.
