Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pillows, in particular to a burping pillow for newborns in prone position. Background Art
[0002] The stomach of a newborn is in a horizontal position with a relaxed cardia. After sucking, the upper part of the stomach is filled with air and the lower part is filled with milk, making it very easy for the baby to vomit and spit up milk. Therefore, proper back patting and scientific burping are of great significance in reducing the frequency of spitting up and ensuring the safety of the newborn. Currently, the most common burping postures in clinical practice are upright holding, sitting, and prone holding. Among them, the prone holding posture is suitable for newborns with intestinal colic. Prone burping involves placing the newborn on the adult's legs and patting the back from bottom to top. This posture is particularly suitable for newborns with intestinal colic or difficulty burping because it can help relieve abdominal discomfort. However, this method also has certain risks.
[0003] Because newborns' neck and back muscles haven't fully developed yet, their heads develop first, resulting in larger heads and weaker cervical vertebrae. Improper positioning can easily cause injury. Burping requires parents to place their newborn on their lap and burp their back from bottom to top. This typically takes half an hour or more and is physically demanding, especially for new mothers. The prone position of a newborn, with its mouth and nose positioned low, makes it difficult to detect aspiration if choking occurs, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address these issues, this proposal is to design a prone burping pillow for newborns. When a newborn is burping, the pillow provides proper support for their head, neck, and spine, preventing damage to the newborn's body due to improper handling. Furthermore, the newborn's head is tilted to one side, allowing the caregiver to directly see the newborn's face, facilitating timely observation and care.
[0005] The utility model specifically adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A burping pillow for a newborn baby in a prone position comprises an outer cloth cover and a middle "T"-shaped inner liner. The inner liner comprises an upper supporting part and a lower supporting part. The side formed by the upper supporting part and the lower supporting part presents a "U"-shaped groove. The top surface of the upper supporting part is concave to form a depression. The upper supporting part gradually extends obliquely downward to form a certain slope.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer cloth cover has the same shape as the inner liner, and a zipper is provided at the bottom.
[0008] Furthermore, the lower portion of the pillow has the same shape as the upper portion, and the area of the lower portion is larger than that of the upper portion.
[0009] Furthermore, the length of the lower support portion of the pillow inner shell is greater than the length of the upper support portion, and the width of the lower support portion is greater than the width of the upper support portion.
[0010] Preferably, the upper support portion gradually extends obliquely downward to form a slope of 15°.
[0011] Preferably, the upper support of the pillow liner is 50 cm long and 30 cm wide, the lower support is 60 cm long and 40 cm wide, the top of the pillow is 22 cm thick and the tail is 4 cm thick, the upper support surface is 2 cm inwardly curved and concave. The front side of the pillow is a U-shaped groove, which is 5 cm inwardly curved and concave.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0013] ① The utility model provides effective support for newborns when burping them in a prone position by designing a burping pillow. The burping pillow is designed to have a slope of 15°, which promotes the discharge of burped milk. ② The integrated design provides appropriate support for the newborn's head, neck and spine. ③ During the burping process, the newborn's head tilts to one side, and parents can look directly at the newborn's face, making it easy to observe abnormal conditions such as milk spitting up and choking, effectively avoiding aspiration. ④ The concave arc structure design of the pillow surface is conducive to fixing the newborn, preventing the head from slipping, and protecting the safety of the newborn. ⑤ Streamlined grooves are designed on the top and sides of the pillow to support the arms and legs, so that the newborn's arms can be wrapped around the sides of the pillow, and the legs can be naturally bent and straddle the lower end of the pillow, which is conducive to maintaining a physiological posture, giving the newborn a sense of security and increasing comfort.
[0014] When used for burping a newborn in the prone position, this pillow provides excellent support for the head and neck, aligning the newborn's head, torso, and hips. This helps facilitate burping and prevents injuries to the newborn's neck muscles and spine, especially those in premature infants, that can occur due to improper operation. The pillow is easy to operate, facilitates observation, and is easily disassembled and cleaned, ensuring safe burping while reducing physical exertion for parents. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
