ABSTRACT:
An infant reflux restraint apparatus according to the present invention preferably has a wedge-shaped support member for readily positioning an infant on a support surface to thereby support an infant in a reclined position. A pair of side strips are secured to the wedge-shaped support member and are positioned on an upper surface thereof. The pair of side strips are spaced-apart in a generally parallel relationship and a sufficient amount so that an infant can be positioned therebetween. Each of the pair of side strips also longitudinally extends along adjacent respective sides of the infant. The apparatus further preferably has a head support member connected to the wedge-shaped support member and positioned on an upper medial portion of the upper surface thereof for supporting the infant's head when reclined thereon. A reflux sling member detachably connects to the pair of side strips secured to the wedge-shaped support member and is positionally longitudinally aligned with the head support member for positioning the lower torso of the infant therein when reclined on the wedge-shaped support member.
