The devices can be used separately or in combination (whereupon both support and containment are achieved together).
Adjustable feeding unit
An adjustable feeding unit for providing support during a feeding activity. The adjustable feeding unit includes a stack of a plurality of positioning elements mounted one over the other such that the positioning elements define a base surface and an angularly raised surface disposed at an angular offset with respect to the base surface. One or more positioning elements are removable from the stack to adjust the angular offset between the base surface and the angularly raised surface.
MULTI-FUNCTION INFANT SUPPORT APPARATUS AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME
A multipurpose support apparatus for an infant is disclosed that includes a rigid planar member having a head end, an intermediate portion and a foot end. The head end and foot end each have a rounded outer edge and the intermediate portion includes right and left sides that have curved concave edges. The edges define the outer periphery of the rigid planar member. A mat following the contour of the rigid planar member is adapted to receive the rigid planar member to be removable from the rigid planar member. A removable cover encloses a flexible container that in turn encloses bean-shaped pellets, or compressible foam filler material. The support apparatus may be used for Tummy Time exercises, as an infant lounger, or a breast-feeding support.
CHAIR FOR SUPPORTING A PERSON WHO IS FEEDING A BABY

Other features such as pockets, a plastic hook to connect toys, an elastic band, zippers, a rigid placement member, and a hook and latch substrate may be included to increase comfort and utility of the system.
Infant support seat cushion
An infant support and stabilization cushion seat to provide a safe and secure containment and retainment of an infant in a sitting position. The support cushion seat is formed of a resilient shape retaining foam core with a yielding encapsulating surface cover material defining a contoured child receiving area therewithin.

Infant Supporting Pillow
An infant supporting pillow for situating an infant in a reclined and secured position for optimum colic-free feeding. The infant supporting pillow comprises of a wedge-shaped pillow portion and an U-shaped pillow portion. The wedge-shaped pillow portion is configured to have a top slanted surface, bottom flat surface, a back surface, two triangular-shaped sides, a thin edge where the top slated surface is closest to the bottom surface, and a thick edge where the top slanted surface is farthest from the bottom surface. The U-shaped pillow portion is configured to have a curved portion and two arm portions. The curved portion and the two arm portions of the U-shaped pillow portion are abutted to the thin edge and the two triangular-shaped sides of the wedge-shaped pillow portion respectively. Each arm portions of the U-shaped pillow portion having an inner sidewall and an outer sidewall, wherein at least part of the inner sidewall of each arm is adjoined to one of the triangular-shaped sides of the wedge-shaped pillow portion.
Partial slipcover
The partial slipcover is a protective barrier adapted for use with a pillow. The partial slipcover is a composite textile that protects the pillow from staining. The partial slipcover is removably attached to the pillow thereby allowing the partial slipcover to be removed and replaced for cleaning.
