A support structure (2) is used for supporting an infant in a supine position. The support structure (2) includes a support body (21) and a neck bolster portion (22) for supporting a neck of the infant. A bottom surface of the support body (21) is a horizontal surface. A top surface of the support body (21) is an inclined surface for supporting the infant. The neck bolster portion (22) protrudes from the inclined surface. A concave structure (23) for resisting buttocks of the infant is provided along a downward direction of the inclined surface. The support structure (2) keeps an airway open when the infant sleeps in the supine position, so as to avoid sudden infant death syndrome. The support body (21) has the concave structure (23) for resisting buttocks of the infant and providing support for buttocks and legs of the infant, thereby preventing the infant from sliding down due to gravity and providing the infant with a comfortable feeling of being contained.

A modular, deformable, repositionable, cushioned gentle cushioned, resistive infant positioning system and method for use with infants is provided that includes first and second tubular pillows each having two longitudinally-elongated chambers adjoined at a first and second pillow lateral flexure-enabling element, respectively. The second tubular pillow is preferably wider than the first tubular pillow and includes two straps. Methods of using the pillows of the cushioned, resistive infant positioning system are presented that provide positioning, calming, and/or the prevention and/or the correction of head shape deformations.

A child restraint assembly for inhibiting a child from wandering away from a caregiver includes a waist belt that is wearable around the waist of a caregiver. The waist belt has a plurality of connection points thereon being distributed along a full length of the waist belt. A strap is matable to a respective one of the connection points on the waist belt. A bell is coupled to the strap to emit an audible sound when the strap is moved. A wrist belt is coupled to the strap and the wrist is wearable around a wrist of a child when the strap is coupled to the waist belt. In this way the strap inhibits the child from moving away from the caregiver.

A lowering assist device includes first and second track housings, first and second resistance mechanisms, and first and second platforms. Each track housing includes a front face, a rear face, and opposing side faces and further includes an internal shaft and an internal member vertically movable along the internal shaft. Each resistance mechanism is housed within the respective track housing and is configured to provide a biasing force to the respective internal member as the respective internal member moves within the respective track housing. Each platform is mounted to the respective internal members.

An infant support pad assembly has a body of resilient material, a generally planar bottom surface and a top surface that is inclined relative to the bottom surface between a proximal end and a distal end of the body such that the infant is in an inclined position when placed on the body. The top surface has an opening in a distal portion of the body and curved surface configured to receive and support at least a portion of an infant's head. The support pad assembly also has a pair of raised side members on either side of the top surface configured to generally maintain the infant on the body and inhibit movement of the infant out of the body. The support pad assembly also has an outer padding to at least partially surround the body to generally maintain the infant on the body.

An apparatus for assisting sleep according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a main body which includes two bodies configured to support the body of a baby and configured so that one end portion of one body and one end portion of the other body are connected to each other and two heads formed at the other end portions of the two bodies and stacked while intersecting with each other to support the head of the baby; and a support portion which is formed at the main body and configured to support the head and neck of the baby from a circumference thereof.

A functional feeding cushion including: a cushion body formed of an inner cover and a cushion material charged inside the inner cover; a hip receiving portion sunken from a front surface of the cushion body; an upper body receiving portion sunken from the front surface of the cushion body; an outer cover covering the front surface of the cushion body and having a cover body; a fixation band vertically disposed at a center of a front surface of the cover body; and a strap horizontally passing under the fixation band and configured to cover and wrap a body portion of the infant. The upper body receiving portion has a predetermined depth decreasing gradually towards an upper end of the upper body receiving portion, and a predetermined width decreasing gradually towards the upper end of the upper body receiving portion while forming a left-right symmetrical trapezoidal shape.

The invention, as described herein, is a combination maternity and feeding support pillow, which will relieve muscle stress and ligament strain on the expectant and/or nursing mother. Pregnancy places a great amount of strain on a woman's body; therefore, the support pillow is designed to mold into a variety of positions, making it particularly useful where the range of motion of the user is limited.

Additionally, the moldable design will make the support pillow particularly useful for nursing and bottle feeding, as range of motion remains limited even after childbirth. This is especially applicable in the event of a cesarean section. The pillow can easily be adjusted with one hand and its flexible design supports all nursing positions, including tandem feeding.
