Description

The present invention relates to a sleeping pillow for bedtime feeding that is suitable for a mother to go to bed after breastfeeding while breastfeeding an infant with breast milk.

Traditionally, mothers breastfeeding at night with their mothers have to breastfeed for a long time while the child is sleeping, but with a general pillow, the head is lower than the shoulders because of its low height. The neck and arms will fall off in order to prevent the arm from hitting the infant during breastfeeding, as the head will fall off the pillow, as the end will be lowered at a right angle. In addition, the burden on the shoulder was strong, and there was a situation where it was impossible to sleep well, such as a stiff shoulder and neck laying. Infants, in particular, need to be cared for because they wake up every few hours, increasing the lack of sleep in nursing mothers. Also, breastfeeding sideways made it difficult to hear the minor sounds produced by the infant, making it difficult to understand the infant's sleep and health status.

As described above, breast feeding pillows contain unique problems that cannot be handled by general pillows.
Therefore, in order to relieve the fatigue of the arm when the mother is lying down and breastfeeding, a pillow for infants (see Patent Document 1) that reduces the burden on the mother so that the infant can be held sideways when breastfeeding is devised. A pillow (see Patent Document 2) that relieves fatigue of the arm by preventing the arm from striking against a support that fixes the upper and lower pedestals that constitute the pillow is known.

Utility Model Registration No. 3155499 JP 2007-83000 A

However, the pillow described in Patent Document 1 is a pillow for sleeping an infant to which a baby can be held horizontally during breastfeeding, and contributes to reducing the burden on the mother. The present invention proposes a pillow that is useful for both of the above and is not directly related to the present invention.

In addition, the invention shown in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2 is such that the infant's mother's arm does not hit the infant's body when breastfeeding by providing oblique sides on the upper and lower plate-like pedestals. It is an invention corresponding to one of the problems held by pillows.

However, the pillow shown in the present invention is formed by fixing two plate-like pedestals (head pedestal and basic pedestal) with a plurality or a single column and providing a cushion portion on the upper surface of the head pedestal. The struts and pedestals directly touching the mother's arms are hard materials, and are not appropriate pillows for mothers in sensitive periods with nursing infants. Considering that there is an infant that shows free movement in the vicinity of this pillow, it can be said that a pillow made of a hard material requires improvement as a pillow for infants.

Therefore, the present invention comprises a main body used by a mother at bedtime and sub-body parts provided on both sides of the main body used by the mother at the time of breast feeding, and both the main body part and the sub-body part are inside a soft material bag. The main part is made with a higher part that hits the neck and a lower part where the head rests, and the sub part uses a harder material than the filling of the main part, and the mother's ears are used for breastfeeding. A sleeping pillow for bedtime nursing is proposed in which a sound listening part opened to the infant side is provided at the position where the baby hits, and a space is provided on the infant side so that the mother can extend his arms upward during breastfeeding.

That is, the present invention is characterized in that it can be used when a mother sleeps and sleeps using a single pillow, and the central main body has a function to protect the cervical spine after breastfeeding and to sleep well. In addition, the sub-body parts on both sides of the body have a function of listening to a trivial sound emitted by an infant at the time of breastfeeding and a function of securing a place for placing an arm that interferes with breastfeeding.

Patent Document 2 introduced as a prior art intends one of the functions of the present invention, which is a technique in which a hypotenuse is formed on a plate-shaped pedestal so that the mother's arm does not hit the infant's body. As described above, in the present invention, a soft material bag filled with filling is in contact with mothers and infants as a jacket, and a hard material called a plate-shaped pedestal indicated by a support is used. It is clearly different from those in contact with each other, and there is a great difference in achieving the function.

Specifically, the present invention can be configured as follows. First, a horizontally long recess is formed in the portion of the main body where the head is placed, and the sound-receiving portion of the sub-body portion is used as a groove with a sound transmission quality chip. It features a triangular prism shaped space.

Secondly, a horizontally long recess is formed on the portion of the main body where the head is placed, and the sound-receiving portion of the sub-body portion is a hollow portion. It is characterized by having a space.

Thirdly, a horizontally long recess is formed in the portion of the main body on which the head is placed, and the sound-receiving portion of the sub-body portion is a groove in which a sound transmission quality chip is arranged, and the space where the mother's arm can be extended is a quadrangular prism-shaped space. It is characterized by that.

Fourthly, a horizontally long concave portion is formed in the portion of the main body where the head of the head is placed, the subordinate body listening portion is a hollow portion, and the space in which the mother's arm can be extended is a quadrangular prism-shaped space. It is a feature.

As described above, the present invention has two functions for feeding and sleeping on one pillow, and also has a function of listening to sounds so that a small sound emitted by an infant can be heard at the time of breastfeeding. The present invention proposes an excellent sleeping pillow for bedtime feeding that allows the mother's arm to be processed comfortably, and that when the mother goes to sleep, also fulfills the function of being able to sleep without fear of damaging the cervical spine. In addition, the present invention is a bed pillow for bedtime feeding that enables breastfeeding while having the above function regardless of whether the baby to be fed is on the left or right.

The present invention consists of a main part used by a mother at bedtime and a subbody part provided on both sides of the main part used by the mother at the time of breastfeeding, and the main part and subbody part are both inside a soft material bag. Filled with filling, the main part makes the part that hits the neck high and the part that puts the head low, and the sub part uses a material harder than the filling of the main part, and the mother's ear is A sound listening part that is open to the infant side is provided at the position where it hits, and it is related to a sleeping pillow for sleeping breasts that opens a space on the infant side so that the mother can extend the arm upward during breastfeeding. We propose a bed pillow for breastfeeding at bedtime that can be performed without hindrance and allows the mother to sleep comfortably. The fourth embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment, and 1 is a main body located at the center of a pillow, which is used when a mother has finished breastfeeding and goes to bed. The main body 1 is made of a bag 3 made of a soft material filled with a buffering filling 4 inside, but the bag 3 is made of plant fibers such as cotton, silk, hemp, etc. or fibers made of synthetic resin, As the filling 4, for example, buckwheat husks, rice husks, breads, feathers or plastic molded ones are used.

Further, as shown in (B), the main body 1 has a high front part 5 which hits the neck at bedtime, a low central part 6 on which the head behind the head is placed, and a rear part 7 which faces the rear top part of the center. Create higher than part 6. Therefore, the central portion 6 has a hollow shape that can stably hold the head, but the bottom of the hollow has a horizontally long concave portion 8 formed at a corresponding portion of the bag 3, and the head is placed in the central portion 6. By forming the recess 8 to be pushed open, the formation of the recess is efficiently created.

Therefore, when the mother has finished breastfeeding and goes to bed, the head fits into a hollow formed in the center part 6 of the pillow that is lowered, and the neck is supported by the front part 5 that is made higher, so that the cervical vertebra is not damaged. Can get a good sleep.

Sub-body parts 2 are provided on both sides of the main body part 1 so that when breastfeeding, the mother can approach and lie down in close proximity to the infant. The sub body portion 2 is filled with a filling 10 made of a soft material like the main portion 1 in a bag 9 made of the same soft material as that of the main portion 1 and made of a softer material, for example, a soft plastic. It is a thing. The main body part 1 and the sub body part 2 are in contact with each other and fixed to the bag 3 and the bag 9 which are the outer jackets.

When the mother breastfeeds, the baby is lying down with her face facing the infant. Therefore, as shown in (C), the vertical height (thickness) of the sub body part 2 is the main part 1. Since the filling 10 is made of a material that is harder than the main body 1, the mother's head can be kept stable while breastfeeding.

In addition, at the position where the mother's ear hits in the upper center part of the sub-body part 2, a sound listening part is created that allows the mother to listen to the sound generated from the infant during breastfeeding. This sound listening part can be achieved by creating a structure of a sound listening function in which the upper side is opened on the back side of the bag 9 using a U-shaped member 13 of a cloth or a soft plastic material.

FIG. 1 shows an example in which the U-shaped member 13 made of a soft plastic material is used as the sound listening portion, and the groove 11 having a sound transmission quality chip 12 and having a sound listening function is created. It is shown. As shown in (C) and (D), the U-shaped member 13 made of this plastic material is provided with a cushioning material 14 having flexibility and elasticity on the back side of the bag 9 in the upper center portion of the sub-body portion 2. Then, it is fixed in a bottomed state in which the cross-section is opened upward. Since the U-shaped member 13 is in a bottomed state, a horizontally long groove 11 is formed therein, but before being fixed to the bag 9, a tube of about 5 mm is cut into a short cylindrical shape, and the sound transmission function A large number of sound transmission quality chips 12 made of a plastic tube having the above are incorporated in the grooves 11. (Even in the configuration of the sound listening function created with the cloth described above, the effect equivalent to the case of the U-shaped member 13 can be obtained by incorporating the sound transmission quality chip 12 in the open space created with the cloth. )

In addition, the U-shaped member 13 does not cause a sense of incongruity of the mother at the open end of the U-shaped shape as shown in (C) and (D), that is, the position where the mother's ear hits when breastfeeding. A belt-like cushion material 14 made of a material having flexibility and elasticity is interposed. The cushion material 14 is provided in a state of two strips fixed to the upper open end of the U-shaped member 13.

A cushion material made of a material having flexibility and elasticity between the bag 9 and the end of the U-shaped member 13 on the infant side so that the infant will not move and be injured in this part. 14 is interposed. The cushion material 14 is formed in a U-shape so as to coincide with the U-shaped end surface of the U-shaped member 13, and is fixed to the bag 9 together with the U-shaped member 13 after being fixed to the end surface of the U-shaped member 13. To be provided. Accordingly, the groove 11 formed in the U-shaped member 13 is also formed so as to communicate with the cushion material 14, and sound transmission and sound listening from the infant side can be performed without any trouble.

From the above configuration, since the mother is lying down at the time of breastfeeding, her ear is in contact with the groove 11 containing the sound transmission quality chip 12 through the thin bag 9, so the mother can hear even the trivial sounds that the infant makes. Can be heard naturally.

Further, in the front side portion of the sub body portion 2 where the mother's neck is in contact with breast feeding, from the inside of the bottom side U-shaped member 13 forming the groove 11 from the portion that contacts the main body portion 1 from the inside An inclined surface 15 inclined toward the outside is created. The inclined surface 15 is formed when the bag 9 is formed. Therefore, a triangular prism-shaped space 16 that is opened outward is created by the inclined surface 15, and the mother can use the space 16 to raise her arms upward so as not to touch the infant when breastfeeding. Can drink breast milk in close contact with the mother without being bothered by the mother's arms.

The inclined surface 15 is covered with a soft bag 9 and the internal filling 10 is made of a material having an appropriate hardness such as a soft plastic material. There is no hindrance. Moreover, even if the baby who moves freely touches the slope portion 15, there is no injury.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the bed pillow for breastfeeding at the time of bedtime, and a bottomed U-shaped member that forms the groove 11 of the sub body part 2 shown in FIG. 13 and the sound transmission quality chip 12 are not provided, and the partition wall 18 made of two plastic plates is provided at intervals across the upper and lower sides of the sub body 2 so that the cavity portion 17 is formed therebetween. Let it form. Since the hollow portion 17 is a large space, the sound emitted by the infant can be accurately propagated, and the mother's listening ability can be greatly improved.

Further, a cushion material 19 made of a strip-like flexible and elastic material is fixed to the upper end of the partition wall 18, and the cushion material 19 is interposed by fixing the cushion material 19 to the bag 9. I will not be stimulated even if I hit. Similarly, a cushion material 19 made of a material having a band-like flexibility and elasticity is fixed to an end portion of the partition wall 18 on the infant side, and the cushion material 19 is interposed by fixing the cushion material 19 to the bag 9. In this area, the infant moves to prevent injury.

In FIG. 2, the main body 1 has the same configuration as that in FIG. 1, and the sub body 2 also has an inclined surface 15 provided on the neck side of a portion on which the mother's head is placed when breastfeeding, and a triangular prism shape created by the inclined surface 15. The space 16 has the same configuration as that in FIG. Further, the bags 3 and 9 and the fillings 4 and 10 are made of the same material as in FIG.

FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of a sleeping pillow for bedtime feeding, which is different from the triangular prism-shaped space 16 formed by the inclined surface 15 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 at the end of the sub body 2. Then, a quadrangular prism-shaped space 20 in which the member 21 having an L-shaped cross section is provided upright is created. The upper end of the L-shaped member 21 is interposed between the bag 9 and a cushion material 22 made of a material having flexibility and elasticity, thereby preventing the mother's face and arms from being stimulated. The cushion material 22 has a belt-like L-shape that matches the shape of the L-shaped member 21 and is fixed to the upper end of the L-shaped member 21.

Further, a cushioning material 22 made of a material having flexibility and elasticity is interposed between the surface of the L-shaped member 21 on the infant side and the bag 9 so that the infant moves and is not injured in this part. I am doing so. The cushion material 22 is also made in a size that matches the L-shaped outside of the L-shaped member 21 (the side facing the baby), and the L-shaped member 21 is covered with the outer surface of the L-shaped member 21. It sticks to.

That is, by providing the L-shaped member 21, a quadrangular prism-shaped space 20 is formed in a part of the infant side of the sub-body part 2 on which the head is placed when the mother breastfeeds, except for a part that the neck hits. The mother can raise her arm upwards to avoid touching the baby's head.

3, the main body 1 has the same configuration as that of FIGS. 1 and 2, and the sub body 2 also has a cushion for a sound listening portion in which a sound transmission quality chip 12 is built in a groove 11 formed by a bottomed U-shaped member 13. The structure provided via the material 14 is the same as that shown in FIG. Further, the bags 3 and 9 and the fillings 4 and 10 of the main body part 1 and the sub body part 2 in FIG. 3 use the same material as the main body part 1 and the sub body part 2 in FIGS.

FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of a sleeping pillow for bedtime feeding. The third embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is different from the third embodiment shown in FIG. Using the fixed L-shaped member 21 to form the quadrangular prism-shaped space 20 is the same, but the sound listening part is different.
In the fourth embodiment, in the fourth embodiment, the sub-body portion 2 is provided with a hollow portion 17 made of a partition wall 18 fixed to the bag 9 via a cushion material 19 in the same manner as shown in FIG. Thus, the sound listening ability is made higher than that in the third embodiment using the groove 11 enclosed by the sound transmission quality chip 12.

Note that the cushion materials 14, 19, and 22 described above are all selected from, for example, rubber-based, sponge-based or soft plastic, and other materials having flexibility and elasticity. Moreover, since the subbody part 2 is provided in the both sides of the main-body part 1, what is necessary is just to utilize the subbody part 2 by the side with the infant to feed. The present invention can be used with infants on either side.
