Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a baby mat and more particularly, it relates to a baby mat with which a parent can sleep alongside a baby. [0003] 2. Description of the Background Art [0004] Recently, sharing of a bed among parents and children in which the parents and the children sleep together in the same bed has been reviewed. An article about the above is described in “Newsweek, special edition of Japanese version, The New Health from Zero Year Old” published by Hankyu Communications Co., Ltd. Jul. 29, 2003, p.7. [0005] According to the above document, the number of mothers who rear their babies at the breast is increased recently and the importance of physical contact is explained. Thus, new merits are discovered in sharing the bed among parents and children. [0006] Meanwhile, the following precautions has to be taken when the parent sleeps with the baby. That is, it is necessary to be careful not to let the b...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008] According to the present invention, a baby mat extends, maintaining a predetermined height and comprises a main region having a constant width dimension, a leg region positioned on the side of baby legs and a head region positioned on the side of a baby head and having a configuration in which its width dimension is decreased toward its top. A height of the baby mat is gradually increased from the leg region toward the head region.

[0009] Since the head region of the baby mat has a configuration in which the width dimension is decreased toward its top, the parent can nurse the baby, sliding an arm around the head region of the baby mat so as to hold the baby mat. In addition, since it has the predetermined height, even when the parent hit the baby mat when the parent rolls over and the like, the parent feels odd because of a difference in level of the baby mat and finds at once that the baby is sleeping with. In addition, since the height is gradually increased from the leg region toward the head region, the head of the baby can be held higher than the legs, so that the baby is likely to let out a burp after having milk.

[0010] As a result, there can be provided the baby mat with which the parent can share the bed with the baby comfortably.

[0013] Since the projection part is provided in the head region, the baby is prevented from rolling over freely so as not to be choked.

[0015] Since the ventilation holes are provided in the baby mat, a temperature of the baby can be appropriately maintained.

Problems solved by technology

That is, it is necessary to be careful not to let the baby choke because a bed (or mat) of the parent is too soft.
