Systems and methods for snuggling a baby

Abstract

Systems, methods and media for snuggling a baby are disclosed. A soft, quilted, bean-bag structure is laid upon the baby to simulate the experience of being snuggled.

1 . A baby snuggling apparatus, comprising: 
 a quilted enclosure of a shape and size to substantially cover the torso and arms of a baby in a fetal position by laying the enclosure upon the baby; and    pellets inserted into the enclosure and sealed therein, with the pellets divided among sections of the quilted enclosure to distribute weight of the pellets among the sections of the quilted enclosure so that gravity weighs down the quilted enclosure to surround and secure the arms of the baby close to the torso of the baby.    
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein one or more quilt seams divide the quilted enclosure into sections that are about equal in size.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein quilt seams divide the enclosure into sections that conform to the shape of a baby's body.  
   
   
       4 . A method for making a baby snuggler, comprising: 
 inserting pellets into a bag formed by sewing together an outer periphery of one or more pieces of soft material;    dividing the pellets among two or more sections of the bag formed by one or more quilt seams sewn into the bag; and    sewing one or more quilt seams to separate the divided pellets among the two or more sections.    
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the quilt seams are positioned to create sections that conform to a baby's body.  
   
   
       6 . A baby comforter, comprising: 
 a quilted cloth enclosure divided into sections by quilt seams, the enclosure being of a shape and size to substantially cover the torso and arms of a baby in a fetal position by laying the enclosure upon the baby; and    pellets inserted into sections of the enclosure to form a quilted bean-bag that conforms to the body of a baby enclosure so that gravity weighs down the quilted enclosure to surround and secure the arms of the baby close to the torso of the baby.    
   
   
       7 . The comforter of  claim 6 , wherein one or more quilt seams divide the quilted enclosure into sections that are about equal in size.  
   
   
       8 . The comforter of  claim 6 , wherein the pellets are inorganic.
