About Anti Vomiting Pillow Child Products
Anti Vomiting Pillow is an inclined pillow designed for newborn babies. The pillow raises the upper body after feeding, so gastroesophageal reflux and vomiting are reduced. The angle of the slope is adjusted by adding or removing interior pads, which suits babies at different stages. The filler is made of customized polyurethane pads and hot pressed coconut fiber mats. The pillowcase is made of moisture wicking and quick drying fabric. The pillow also acts as a bed within a bed when a mother shares a bed with a baby.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The product, with a unique elevating mechanism, tackles vomiting after feeding. The situation where babies, when lying on their backs, experience gastroesophageal reflux or vomit can be averted by adjusting the number of interior pads. Besides, the product, acting as a bed in bed, can prevent mothers from turning atop babies when sharing a bed with them.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 450 mm x 800 mm x 200 mm
- Production Technology
- The interior filler material is made of customized polyurethane interior pads with great elasticity, which have undergone SGS tests, and imported coconut fiber mats by hot pressing; the exterior pillowcase is made of COOLMAX fabric that is moisture-wicking and quick-drying.
- Design Challenge
- How to tackle the problem of various extent to which babies vomit on different stages, and how to make the angle of slope adjustable have become the major challenges of the Research and Development. Designers, by increasing or reducing the number of interior pads, enable users to adjust the angle of slope, delivering the anti-vomiting function of adjusting the angle according to babies needs.
- Project Duration
- The product, co-developed by designers for mothers and newborns in Shanghai and international design teams in April, 2019, was launched on iyun based in Tmall. In October, 2021, its upgraded version was launched on imomoto based in Tmall.
- Operation Flow
- Lying on the pillow, babies can eat or rest comfortably. The scientific anti vomiting angle, when babies lie on the pillow after feeding, can make them belch, thus preventing vomiting. According to how much babies vomit, the angle of slope can be adjusted by reducing or increasing the number of interior pads, so that babies can lie on their backs comfortably.
- Research
- Unlike adults, newborns stomach is horizontal and relatively small in volume. As their not-fully-developed cardia can’t close properly, products of digestion, in the case of gastrointestinal peristalsis, tend to reflux from esophagus, leading to vomiting. Frequent vomiting is likely to cause such conditions as inflammations in intestines and stomach, and pneumonia.
- Inspiration
- Babies, whose digestive system is not fully developed, tend to suffer from gastroesophageal reflux and vomit if lying down right after feeding. By elevating the cardia through the slope, the product prevents babies from vomiting, averting the risk of choking resulted from it.
