Abstract

A support pillow in two detachable main sections, each section having an elongated right triangular wedge-shaped resilient foam member each covered with fabric with a portion of the fabric extending outward to define a flexible rectangular panel. The top surface of one rectangular panel, and the bottom surface of the other rectangular panel are affixed with elongated hook and loop fastening strips which allow adjustable overlapping affixment of the two rectangular panels one to another, thereby allowing affixing together of the two main sections of the pillow. When affixed together, the two sections of the support pillow define an open-ended and open-top channel with the rectangular panels and fabric covered foam members providing a roll-preventing flat bottom, and the fabric covered foam members additionally defining two spaced apart vertically oriented side walls of the channel. The hook and loop attachment of the two rectangular panels provides for adjustability in the distance between vertical side walls of the channel. An infant may be placed on its side, on top of the overlapped rectangular panels with the vertical side walls of the support pillow positioned snugly against the chest and back of the infant, with the infant's torso within the channel. The infant's head extends out one open end of the channel, and his legs extend out the outer oppositely disposed open end of the channel. The support pillow assists in stabilizing and maintaining the infant comfortably in a lateral sleeping position.
