  • Patent number: 5005217
    Abstract: A protective garment for use by a person holding an infant comprising a back portion which is of waist length to permit the person to sit comfortably. The garment has a front portion of thigh length to protect the clothing of the person against being soiled by any spitting up of the infant. The two portions are joined along one vertical edge each so that the front portion can be wrapped around the front of the person. The front portion has a flap which goes over the opposite shoulder of the person and uses a Velcro type connection to hold it in place. Short puffy sleeves are employed at the ends of the shoulders to provide support for the head of the infant.
