Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/157,420, filed on Mar. 5, 2021 and titled “Infant Feeding Positioning Cushion” which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- This disclosure relates to devices for the feeding of infants, in particular, to devices for positioning infants for feeding.
- About four million babies are born in the United States every year, with 50% of those babies having signs or symptoms of reflux up to six months of age: that is two million new babies with reflux issues every year; many have reflux that will continue into the second year of life. Reflux in infants is generally caused by the immature tone of the esophagus, which leads to a to-and-fro motion of liquid in the esophagus when drinking and can lead to their stomach contents moving up and spilling over into the airway (aspiration), which can lead to wheezing pneumonia, poor feeding, and poor weight gain, and in rare cases, this can be life-threatening. This is a normal physiological condition that infants generally grow out of but causes much parent anxiety.
- An infant feeding positioning cushion is designed to provide support to an infant during feeding. The infant feeding positioning cushion allows an infant to be placed on an infant feeding surface at a semi-upright angle in a prone position with the infant's head disposed to the side or in a side laying position. The infant feeding positioning cushion includes an upper surface, a lower section, and an inclinometer to determine if the infant feeding positioning cushion is disposed at a predetermined angle. The upper surface may include an inclined section that includes a recessed portion that is disposed beneath a plane of the upper surface and a raised portion that is disposed above the plane of the upper surface. The raised portion is configured to support the infant's head and the recessed portion is configured to support the infant's lower body.
- The written disclosure herein describes illustrative embodiments that are non-limiting and non-exhaustive. Reference is made to certain of such illustrative embodiments that are depicted in the figures, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an infant feeding positioning cushion according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. -
FIG. 2 is a side view of the infant feeding positioning cushion ofFIG. 1 . - The components of the embodiments as generally described and illustrated in the figures herein can be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Thus, the following more detailed description of various embodiments, as represented in the figures, is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure, but is merely representative of various embodiments. While various aspects of the embodiments are presented in drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated.
- The phrase “coupled to” is broad enough to refer to any suitable coupling or other form of interaction between two or more entities, including mechanical interaction. Thus, two components may be coupled to each other even though they are not in direct contact with each other. The phrases “attached to” or “attached directly to” refer to interaction between two or more entities which are in direct contact with each other and/or are separated from each other only by a fastener of any suitable variety (e.g., mounting hardware or an adhesive).
- The terms “proximal” and “distal” are opposite directional terms. For example, the distal end of a device or component is the end of the component that is furthest from a caregiver during ordinary use. The proximal end refers to the opposite end, or the end nearest the caregiver during ordinary use.

The material of thelower section 130 may be a material that is easily cleaned via a disinfecting wipe and the like. In some embodiments, thecover 132 may be removably attached to the molded foam wedge for cleaning. - In some embodiments, the
lower section 130 may include thecover 132 and thelower section 130 is filled with microbeads. The microbeads allow some adjustment of the angle on the lap by compressing or redistributing the microbeads in thelower section 130 to increase the caregiver's comfort. - The infant
feeding positioning cushion 100 may further comprise ahandle 140. Thehandle 140 enables the caregiver to easily grip and transport the infantfeeding positioning cushion 100. Thehandle 140 is disposed on a proximal side of the infantfeeding positioning cushion 100. In other words, thehandle 140 is disposed on the side of the infantfeeding positioning cushion 100 next to the torso of the caregiver when the infantfeeding positioning cushion 100 is on the caregiver's lap. Thehandle 140 may be a coupled to the infantfeeding positioning cushion 100 via one ormore fasteners 142, such as screws, bolts, rivets, and the like. In the illustrated embodiment, thehandle 140 is coupled to thelower section 130 of the infantfeeding positioning cushion 100. However, thehandle 140 may also be attached directly to theouter rim 110. - The infant
feeding positioning cushion 100 may further include a plurality ofbottle holders 150 coupled to lateral edges of the infantfeeding positioning cushion 100. For example,FIG. 1 illustrates abottle holder 150 disposed on a right side of the infantfeeding positioning cushion 100. While not illustrated, the infantfeeding positioning cushion 100 may also have abottle holder 150 on the left side of the infantfeeding positioning cushion 100. Thebottle holder 150 may be an elastic band that is coupled to the infantfeeding positioning cushion 100 via one ormore fasteners 152, such as screws, bolts, rivets, and the like. The elastic band of thebottle holder 150 is configured to receive and secure a bottle. In some embodiments, eachbottle holder 150 is configured to secure a single bottle or multiple bottles. In the illustrated embodiment, thebottle holder 150 is coupled directly to thelower section 130 of the infantfeeding positioning cushion 100. However, thebottle holder 150 may also be coupled directly to theouter rim 110. Thebottle holders 150 may also be utilized as additional handles when thebottle holders 150 are not actively securing bottles to the infantfeeding positioning cushion 100. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a side view of the infantfeeding positioning cushion 100. Thelower section 130 comprises alower surface 134 disposed on a plane. In the illustrated embodiment, thelower surface 134 is disposed at an angle relative to the plane of thefirst section 122 and thethird section 129. In other words, the plane of thefirst section 122 and thethird section 129 is not parallel with the plane of thelower surface 134 of thelower section 130. The angle of thelower surface 134 relative to the plane of thefirst section 122 and thethird section 129 may range between 5 degrees and 15 degrees. In some embodiment, the angle of the lower surface is about 10 degrees. In some embodiments, the angle of thelower surface 134 relative to the plane of thefirst section 122 and thethird section 129 may be substantially 10 degrees. The angle of thelower surface 134 may be constant over the length of thelower surface 134 from aproximal end 135 of thelower surface 134 to adistal end 136 of thelower surface 134. Stated another way, thelower surface 134 may have a negative slope from theproximal end 135 to thedistal end 136 of thelower surface 134. - It will be obvious to those having skill in the art that many changes may be made to the details of the above-described embodiments without departing from the underlying principles of the invention. The scope of the present invention should, therefore, be determined only by the following claims.
