I am designing a new baby sleeping device where it is a product that is soft and cuddly that can be placed on top of the baby (stomach/chest) when it is sleeping to help it sleep. it will also have a device that has a beat (simulate a mother's heartbeat/breathing movement)

The idea of this is when a baby falls a sleep cuddling in your arms, the transition to the cot/pram the baby wakes up. the device will give the baby the same kind of warm comfort on its stomach, marginal pressure of security and the movement of chest slightly moving up and down (to stimulate the idea of human contact).

Please let me know if you think this is a good idea or not. Many thanks :-)

I wouldn't use something like this. There are other devices that replicate a mothers heartbeat/noises in the womb, but having something warm, with marginal pressure actually on a baby sounds like it could be pretty dangerous to me.

Sorry.

Ewan the sheep, the company is also making a mattress according to google, there are also those sound system things that have water sounds and nature sounds which have heartbeat sounds too.

Be aware that it is against SIDS advise to have anything in the cot with baby (including toys/comforters) until 6 months old.

Comforter toys tend to be snugged into the face, not stomach.

You mention it being 'warm', is it heated? That would be dangerous.

I wouldn't buy this. But I wouldn't buy anything of that kind of thing, so I am not your target audience.
