A planar, flexible textile element, which is particularly suitable as a baby sling, consists of at least 90% natural fibres and/or fibres made of natural fibres and has a net structure. In this case, a main part having the net structure and an elastic edging enclosing the main part are provided.

A swaddling device is described. The swaddling device includes a sack configured to substantially enclose a baby. The sack includes sleeves and an attached wrap configured to swaddle the baby. The swaddling device at least partially restricts movement of the baby and thereby suppresses the Moro Reflex, while also snugly enveloping the torso of the baby and thereby providing constant moderate pressure thereto. The wrap is sufficiently narrow so as not to restrict movement of the baby's hips and knees, while also providing access to the lower portion of the baby for diaper changes. Some versions of the device include sleeves having at their ends foldover mitten cuffs or other selectively openable mechanism. The cuffs allow a caregiver to expose the hand or hands of the baby so as to provide skin-to-skin contact. Alternatively, the caregiver can close the cuffs if scratching is a concern.

A system for respiration monitoring includes a garment, which is configured to be fitted snugly around a body of a human subject, and which includes, on at least a portion of the garment that fits around a thorax of the subject, a pattern of light and dark pigments having a high contrast at a near infrared wavelength. A camera head is configured to be mounted in proximity to a bed in which the subject is to be placed, and includes an image sensor and an infrared illumination source, which is configured to illuminate the bed with radiation at the near infrared wavelength, and is configured to transmit a video stream of images of the subject in the bed captured by the image sensor to a processor, which analyzes movement of the pattern in the images in order to detect a respiratory motion of the thorax.

Infant swaddling allows an infant to be comfortably and easily swaddled. The swaddling includes a pouch featuring a lower end that can be opened and closed to allow an infant's soiled diaper to be easily removed and replaced or to take a rectal temperature. The swaddling can include a blanket that comprises a first blanket flap and a second blanket flap and that can be removably attached to the pouch. The swaddle is used by placing one of the blanket flaps over the pouch, and then placing the other blanket flap over the pouch.
