Patent ID: 7111347

Claim:
A nursing pillow which supports baby rather than mother and encourages both proper mouth-nipple alignment and an angle necessary for proper digestion, the nursing pillow comprising: a wedge having the cross-section of an isosceles triangle and constructed of firm, supportive foam encased in an outer layer of cushioning foam; the wedge measuring approximately 15 to 17 inches in length and between 7 and 10 inches in width; the thickest end of the wedge is between 6 and 9 inches high with the thinnest end of the wedge approximately between 1 and 3 inches high; the angle of the top surface of the wedge relative to the bottom surface is approximately between 22 and 30 degrees; the cushioning foam is fully attached to the inner foam wedge such that all materials form one cohesive unit; the cushioning foam covers the outer surfaces of the wedge; an inner cover constructed of waterproof fabric, prohibiting bacterial growth within the pillow due to milk leakage, spit-up or urination and also making it unnecessary to wash the pillow itself; a removable outer cover constructed of a soft washable fabric and attached to the outer cover is a carrying handle, making it easy to carry the pillow with one hand while holding baby.
