ABSTRACT:
A device constructed of resilient foam material for positioning a prematurely born infant. The device comprises an infant-supporting layer having a head end, a foot end, and an upper surface with a central torso area. A pair of lateral members are attached to the upper surface of the infant-supporting layer to bound the torso area on each side. A transverse member is secured to the upper surface of the infant-supporting layer at the foot end. The upper surface of the infant-supporting layer around the torso area is convoluted to provide air and additional cushion to the head and shoulders of the infant. A foot member is attached on the transverse member between the torso area and the foot end. An infant may be placed in the device in the supine, prone or fetal positions.
