Methods and apparatuses for monitoring breathing pattern by monitoring and analyzing data that are the results of pressure changes in an air bed due to amount of air inhaled and exhaled and the chest expansion and contraction of an infant. The changes in pressure over time can be recorder, modeled and sent to be analyzed for fault detection in breathing pattern. As a result the abnormalities in the breathing pattern can be detected and parents and pediatrics can be warned in case of an Apparent Life-Threatening Event (ALTE) to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

A crib sheet with attachment points used to attach to the crib rails or bed frame. The crib sheet is used in combination with an infant sleep garment that attaches to the crib sheet by hook and loop mechanism. Attachment to the crib frame or bed frame, rather than the mattress, eliminates the risk that the infant's movements can cause the crib sheet to move or shift. Two points of attachment lie on either side of the shoulders or upper torso of the infant. The sleep garment has a arm restraint mechanism that acts to prevent movement of the infant's arms so that the infant cannot use its arms to escape the garment or to move itself about the crib or bed.

A mattress converts from a crib mattress with side walls and end walls surrounding an infant sleeping surface on a central mattress section therebetween to a twin mattress with a substantially planar sleeping surface to support a reclining child or adult. The end walls and side walls are tethered or hingedly connected to the central mattress section and are moveable from an upright position (crib mattress) to an open position (twin mattress). Sidewall extensions are hingedly connected to the side walls and are pivotably moveable from a first position above the side walls to a second position axially aligned with the side walls when the side walls are in the open position.

Disclosed are an infant sleeping posture intelligent identification method and device based on thermal infrared imaging. The device includes a thermal infrared image acquisition module, a video interface, a thermal infrared image identification and processing module and an early warning module. The infant sleeping thermal infrared image acquisition module acquires thermal infrared images in an infant sleeping process in a real-time manner through a thermal imager. The thermal infrared images are transmitted to the thermal infrared image identification and processing module through the video interface. The thermal infrared image identification and processing module detects the position of a nose hole or an oral cavity and a head area position of the infant and judges a head sleeping position of the infant according to the detected position of the nose hole or oral cavity, relative to the head area. When the judgment result is sleeping postures which are dangerous or have potential safety hazards in that the infant is covered by clothes or the infant sleeps on the stomach and the like, the early warning module is triggered to output early warning information to notify a guardian. Non-contact and radiation-free guardianship is carried out on infant sleeping without using infrared emitter to emit infrared light so that no effect or harm is caused on the infant or sleeping of the infant.
