Abstract
Abstract A support for a baby's head including a fabric covered foam member adapted to receive the baby's neck in a generally U-shaped inset. The fabric covering extends beyond the covered member and terminates in a pair of flaps which are adapted for positioning behind the baby so as to assist in positioning the support. When the baby nods, its head contacts the covered member in a supporting fashion.
