Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of newborn protection technology, and specifically refers to a device for early skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby during childbirth. Background Technology
[0002] When implementing early skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth as part of Early Essential Neonatal Care (EENC) in the delivery room, we found that the safety of the newborn cannot be ignored during this process. Although midwives instructed the mother to hold the newborn with one hand on its back and the other on its bottom to prevent it from falling off, the midwife still needed to perform procedures such as placental delivery and perineal suturing. Furthermore, the mother was physically and mentally exhausted after childbirth, so she might not be able to fully focus on protecting the newborn.
[0003] In detail, the World Health Organization (WHO) points out that early neonatal care measures, such as immediate skin-to-skin contact with the newborn, delayed umbilical cord ligation, neonatal resuscitation, and kangaroo care, can significantly improve the health of newborns. The WHO predicts that if these basic, low-cost neonatal care measures are implemented during delivery and immediately after birth, neonatal mortality can be reduced by approximately 22%, and the incidence of neonatal hypothermia, neonatal asphyxia, neonatal infection, necrotizing enterocolitis, and intracranial hemorrhage can be reduced, while the rate of exclusive breastfeeding can be increased and neonatal hospitalization rates reduced.
[0004] Clinical recommendations for early neonatal care within 1 minute of birth are as follows: After delivery, the midwife should report the newborn's birth time (hour, minute, second) and gender. Immediately place the newborn on a dry towel already laid out on the mother's abdomen. Begin thoroughly drying the newborn within 5 seconds, completing the drying process within 20-30 seconds. Quickly assess the newborn's breathing during the drying process. After thorough drying and stimulation, if the newborn is breathing or crying, remove the wet towel and place the newborn in a prone position (abdomen down, head turned to one side) to begin skin-to-skin contact with the mother. Cover the newborn's body with another clean, preheated dry towel and put a small cap on the newborn.
[0005] However, when implementing skin-to-skin contact procedures immediately after birth as part of Early Essential Neonatal Care (EENC) in the delivery room, we found that the safety of the newborn became one of the obstacles to implementing EENC because the mother still needed to undergo procedures such as placental delivery and perineal suturing, and the mother was in a state of extreme physical and mental exhaustion.
[0006] The existing products on the market include a mother-infant skin contact assistive device (application publication number: CN216089791 U), but for mothers during childbirth, wearing this assistive device is too cumbersome and inconvenient.
[0007] In other words, existing mother-infant skin contact assistive devices have the following main shortcomings:
[0008] 1. When pregnant women engage in early skin-to-skin contact with their babies after childbirth, the newborn is more likely to fall off the mother.
[0009] 2. Existing mother-infant skin contact assistive devices are too cumbersome to wear.
[0010] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an easy-to-wear early skin-contact device that can prevent newborns from falling off their mothers during early skin-contact. Utility Model Content

[0031] In this invention, the mother wears a garment body 10, which keeps her warm. A baby bag 20 and a swaddle sheet 40 are provided on the front and / or front side of the garment body 10. Medical staff place the newborn into the baby bag 20, allowing direct contact between the newborn and the mother. The swaddle sheet 40 wraps around the baby bag 20, preventing the newborn from falling out. Furthermore, because this invention includes the baby bag 20 within the swaddle sheet 40, its structure is simple and easy to operate, avoiding the cumbersome operations of existing technologies and solving the problems present in existing technologies.
[0032] It should be noted that since the mother is usually lying flat after childbirth, the baby bag 20 is placed on the front and / or front side of the garment body 10, which makes it convenient for the newborn to lie on the mother's body.
[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, the interior of the baby bag 20 forms an activity space, and the front and / or front side of the clothing body 10 is provided with a connecting opening, which is connected to the activity space of the baby bag 20.
[0034] In detail, in this utility model, a connecting opening is provided on the front and / or front side of the garment body 10, and the connecting opening is connected to the activity space of the baby bag 20, which facilitates direct contact between the newborn and the mother.

[0036] In this way, when not using this utility model, the swaddle piece 40 can be set on the garment body 10 through the connecting section 210 to prevent the swaddle piece 40 from detaching from the garment body 10. Moreover, when in use, it is only necessary to connect the movable section of the swaddle piece 40 to the garment body 10 so that the swaddle piece 40 wraps around the baby bag 20. With the combined action of the baby bag 20 and the swaddle piece 40, the situation of the newborn falling off is prevented, and the newborn can also be kept warm.
[0037] As the first specific embodiment of this implementation, a wrapping piece 40 is provided on the garment body 10, the connecting section 210 of the wrapping piece 40 is fixed on the garment body 10, and the movable section of the wrapping piece 40 crosses the baby bag 20 and is detachably connected to the garment body 10.
[0038] In detail, in this invention, the connecting segment 210 of the swaddle piece 40 can be located above, below, to the left, or to the right of the baby bag 20. Taking the connecting segment 210 located below as an example, if the connecting segment 210 of the swaddle piece 40 is located below the baby bag 20, then the upper, left, and / or right sides of the baby bag 20 can all be movable segments of the swaddle piece 40. That is, the movable segment of the swaddle piece 40 can be located at least above, to the left, and / or to the right of the baby bag 20. The movable segment allows the swaddle piece 40 and the garment body 10 to be detachably connected. In the connected state, the swaddle piece 40 wraps around the baby bag 20. Preferably, when the lower part of the baby bag 20 is the connecting segment 210, its movable segment is located above the baby bag 20, that is, located at two opposite positions of the connecting segment 210, which can better wrap the baby bag 20.
[0039] As a second specific embodiment of this implementation, the garment body 10 is provided with two wrapping pieces 40, and the connecting sections 210 of the two wrapping pieces 40 are respectively provided on the opposite outer sides of the baby bag 20. The movable sections of the two wrapping pieces 40 are detachably provided on the garment body 10, or the movable sections of the two wrapping pieces 40 are detachably connected.
[0040] In detail, in this invention, the connecting segments 210 of the two swaddle pieces 40 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the baby bag 20, or on the top and bottom of the baby bag 20. Taking the example of the connecting segments 210 of the two swaddle pieces 40 being located on the left and right sides of the baby bag 20, the two swaddle pieces 40 are respectively a first swaddle piece 40 and a second swaddle piece 40. The connecting segment 210 of the first swaddle piece 40 is located on the left side of the baby bag 20, and the movable segment of the first swaddle piece 40 is located on the top, bottom, and / or right side of the baby bag 20.
