Abstract

A support pillow in two main sections, each section having an elongated resilient foam member each covered with fabric with a portion of the fabric extending outward to define a flexible panel. The top surface of one panel, and the bottom surface of the other panel are affixed with elongated hook and loop fastening strips which allow adjustable overlapping affixment of the two panels one to another in order to affix together the two sections of the support pillow. The two sections of the support pillow when affixed together define an open-ended and open-top vertical walled channel with the panels and fabric covered foam members providing an anti-roll device for the infant. The hook and loop attachment of the two 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 support pillow assists in stabilizing and maintaining the infant comfortably in a lateral sleeping position. An elongated lengthwise recess is formed into each vertical side wall facing the channel to define a ventilation system which includes an excluding arrangement for excluding an infant's face from fully entering the recess and the infant's nose and mouth from engaging a wall defining the recess.
