Claim 13:
14. An adjustable feeding unit for providing adjustable support for a feeding activity, the adjustable feeding unit comprising:
a stack of a plurality of positioning elements mounted one over the other such that the plurality of positioning elements defines a base surface and an angularly raised surface disposed at an angular offset with respect to the base surface, one or more positioning elements of the plurality of positioning elements including a slit;
a closed loop flexible member passing through the slit; and
a pliant sheet to cover the stack and retain the stack as a single unit, wherein
one or more positioning elements of the plurality of positioning elements are removable from the stack to adjust the angular offset between the base surface and the angularly raised surface for varying the angularly raised surface between multiple angular positions with respect to the base surface, thereby angularly elevating a head of an infant between various postures above a stomach of the infant to enable the infant to feed at an optimal feeding angle for the feeding activity,
at least one of the pliant sheet or the closed loop flexible member serves as a grab handle for the stack,
each positioning element of the plurality of positioning elements includes a wedge-shaped body defining an underbody surface, a ramp surface inclined at a wedge angle to the underbody surface, each of the underbody surface and the ramp surface extending from a first end of the wedge-shaped body to a second end of the wedge-shaped body,
a cross-sectional area of the wedge-shaped body at the first end is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the wedge-shaped body at the second end and a thickness between the underbody surface and the ramp surface at the first end is smaller than a thickness between the underbody surface and the ramp surface at the second end,
the plurality of positioning elements are mounted in the same orientation such that first ends of wedge-shaped bodies of corresponding positioning elements face a first direction and second ends of the wedge-shaped bodies of the corresponding positioning elements face a second direction, opposite to the first direction, and
the wedge-shaped body defines a first lateral side surface and a second lateral side surface extending between the underbody surface and the ramp surface, the first lateral side surface and the second lateral side surface define a first concavity and a second concavity, respectively, and each of the first concavity and the second concavity extends from the first end to the second end.
