the mumPad
A Baby sleeping pad that mimics the heartbeat and breathing pattern of mum | |
Using an airbladder, the pad can move up and down at a
frequency
akin to mother's breathing pattern. A simple transducer will
softly
play mum's heart beat near the head of child.
The pad itself should be contoured as if the child is sleeping
on mum/dad's chest and should be equally warm.

Program 4: clothes dryer sound and rocking motion. |
