ABSTRACT:
The disclosed infant environmental transition system relates to the method and apparatus for providing an infant with an incrementally controlled, healthy transition from its intrauterine environment as it exists near birth to the extrauterine environment. The apparatus comprises a housing within which the infant is supported on a sling-like member. Means are provided to initially generate environmental conditions within the housing simulating the intrauterine environment and to alter this environment in controlled incremental steps to a normal extrauterine environment. Said means provide and control the tactile sensations perceived by the infant; the temperature and humidity within the container; the degree of movement imparted to the housing, which in turn is imparted to the infant; the degree of light perceived by the infant; and an audio profile which initially simulates intrauterine cardiovascular and gastro-intestinal sounds and gradually transitions to normal extrauterine sounds.
