A configurable baby cover for covering an infant in a number of situations and/or environments. A fabric portion provides privacy or shade for the infant and is shaped to ensure coverage of a user while nursing. A mesh portion provides airflow to the user and baby to prevent overheating and completes the shape of the cover. The cover has a first opening and a second opening which define a passage through the cover through which a user's torso, a baby car seat, a high chair, or other object may pass through partially or wholly. Fasteners around the second opening of the cover reduce the size of the second opening when secured and keep the cover in place on a user's shoulder or on an upper portion of a car seat or high chair.

A nursing garment computing system includes a nursing garment having a pair of breast cups with an electronic sensor to indicate the status of a breast in the pair of breast cups and a computing device to record the sensor data indicative of whether the breast cup is open or closed. The data can be electronically sent to an external device such as a cell phone or personal digital assistant to keep track of which breast cup has been opened for breastfeeding event, time between breastfeeding event, amount of time for breastfeeding from each side of the breast, a record of which side was nursed last, and a record of which side was nursed first during the last breastfeeding event.

The present invention generally relates to an absorbent component (100) for use in a garment. The absorbent component (100) comprises: a first layer composite (120) comprising a first foam layer (122) and a first liquid impermeable layer (124); an absorbent layer composite (140) bonded to the first liquid impermeable layer (124) for absorbing bodily fluids; and a second liquid impermeable layer (164) bonded to the absorbent layer composite (140) and first layer composite (120) to contain the bodily fluids absorbed by the absorbent layer composite (140), wherein the second liquid impermeable layer (164) forms an opening (166) for receiving the bodily fluids to the absorbent layer composite (140); and wherein the first foam layer (122) is moulded to shape the absorbent component (100).

A garment for assisting a user holding an infant is provided. The garment may include a first portion, a second portion, a first sleeve, and a second sleeve. The second portion may be configured to overlap the first portion when the garment is worn by the user. The first sleeve and the second sleeve may each extend from the first portion and the second portion, respectively. The first portion may define an elongated opening. The elongated opening may be positioned to provide access through the opening and to the infant from the outside of the garment while the first portion remains covered by the second portion. The garment may also include at least one fastener attached thereto. The at least one fastener may be positioned relative to the opening and may comprise at least one loop to secure at least part of a tubing or wire extending from the infant. The garment may also comprise a locking mechanism that can adjust the loop to the size of the tubing

A pillow that is worn on a body of a parent or caregiver to support the head of an infant or young child. The pillow includes a U-shaped shell having a central region and first and second legs that extend outwardly from opposite ends of the central region in a same direction as one another. A gap is bounded and defined the first leg, the central region, and the second leg. When the pillow is worn, the central region rests behind the parent or caregiver's neck and one of the first and second legs extends over each shoulder and onto their chest. Closure tabs secure the legs to one another. A separate pad is removably received within each of the first leg and the second leg. The central region is made up of two layers of fabric and is free of any pads or filler materials.

A burp cloth with a connection mechanism to removably attach multiple burp cloths together is implemented. The burp cloth may have a front-side cloth and a rear-side cloth, and in between the two cloths are magnets. The magnets are sealed and secured in place via stitching that encircles the magnets. The stitching extends from the front-side cloth to the rear-side cloth to create a sealed pocket between the cloths. The front- and rear-side cloths are attached via a trim that surrounds each cloth's perimeter. Opposing sides of the trim are stitched to a respective front- or rear-side cloth to form the components into a single burp cloth unit. Multiple burp cloths can be uniformly arranged and removably engaged with each other via the magnets, thereby enabling a user to quickly and easily remove a dirtied burp cloth to expose a clean burp cloth for use.

A nursing garment in the style of a dress is disclosed. In some embodiments, the nursing garment may comprise a dress body having a front and a back. The dress body may comprise a neck opening, a left arm opening, a right arm opening, a legs opening, an upper placket, and a lower placket. The upper placket may comprise at least one buttonhole. The lower placket may comprise at least one button operable to couple with the at least one buttonhole. The dress body may further comprise a first zipper member coupled to either or the upper placket and the front. The dress body may further comprise a second zipper member coupled to the lower placket. The second zipper member may be operable to couple with the first zipper member. The upper placket and the lower placket may be separable to allow an infant to nurse.
