Body orienting harnesses and associated structures are disclosed, along
with methods of use. The body orienting harness can position a body, such
an infant, with respect to the associated structure, such as a bed, bed
frame or crib, a sheet, or a blanket for example. The harness may be
integrated with a sheet or blanket in order to secure not only a body in
position but also secure the sheet or blanket in position with respect to
the body. The sheet, blanket, or other cover, can provide a slip cover
for an underlying support surface, such as a mattress for example.
Alternatively, the cover can be secured in other ways to form a pocket in
association with other structure, such as a bed sheet for example. The
harness can be mounted in association with the pocket to secure a body in
position with the respect to the pocket and associated structure, such as
a mattress, crib, etc. When used to secure an infant during sleep,
certain embodiments of the harness and associated structure can help
significantly reduce the chance of overheating, suffocating, or otherwise
harming the infant.
