Abstract
A baby support for supporting a baby positioned on a front torso of a supporting person. The baby support includes an elongated soft body that extends across a back torso of the supporting person and the baby. The baby support also includes fastening ends that overlap and secure to support the baby on the front torso of the supporting adult. The baby support may be configured to stretch to generate an elastic force to pull the back torso of the baby towards the back torso of the supporting person.
Claims19
A baby support for supporting a baby positioned on a front torso of a supporting person while maintaining skin-to-skin contact between the baby and the supporting person, the support comprising:
- an elongated soft body configured to extend around at least a portion of the torso of the supporting person;
- a fastener to affix a first portion of the elongated soft body to a second portion of the elongated soft body to secure the baby on the front torso of the supporting adult;
- the entire length and width of the baby support, including both the elongated soft body and the fastener, being made of stretch fabric configured to define, when in use, an expandable pocket between a portion of the stretch fabric and the front torso of the supporting adult, the expandable pocket configured to, in an expanded state, contour the baby to provide a secure and snug support through stretch in four directions to generate an elastic force to pull the back torso of the baby towards the back torso of the supporting person such that a plane of the elastic force extends to the entire length and width of the baby support.
A baby support for use in supporting a baby positioned on a front torso of a supporting person while maintaining skin-to-skin contact between the baby and the supporting person, the support comprising:
- an elongated soft body, wherein in use the elongated soft body extends around a portion of a torso of the supporting person and around a portion of a back torso of the baby;
- a fastener integrally connected to the elongated soft body to secure the baby on a front torso of the supporting adult;
- and the entire length and width of the baby support being made of stretch fabric configured to define, when in use, an expandable pocket between a portion of the stretch fabric and the torso of the supporting adult, the expandable pocket configured to, in an expanded state, contour the baby to provide a secure and snug support through stretch in four directions to generate an elastic force to pull the back torso of the baby towards the torso of the supporting person such that a plane of the elastic force extends to the entire length and width of the baby support.
A method for supporting a baby positioned on a front torso of a supporting person, the method comprising:
- extending an elongated soft body across a portion of a torso of the supporting person;
- positioning the baby in direct contact with the torso of the supporting person;
- stretching stretch fabric of the entire length and width of a baby support across the back torso of the baby to expand a portion of the stretch fabric at the torso of the supporting adult to contour the back torso of the baby to provide a secure and snug support through stretch in four directions and maintain skin-to-skin contact between the baby and the supporting person;
- affixing the baby support using a fastener mechanism to secure the baby on the torso of the supporting adult;
- and stretching the baby support to generate an elastic force to pull the back torso of the baby towards the back torso of the supporting person.
