A baby support for supporting a baby positioned on a front torso of a supporting person. The baby support includes an elongated soft body that extends across a back torso of the supporting person and the baby. The baby support also includes fastening ends that overlap and secure to support the baby on the front torso of the supporting adult. The baby support may be configured to stretch to generate an elastic force to pull the back torso of the baby towards the back torso of the supporting person.

The method of claim 1, wherein the elongated soft body has a rectangular shape, wherein the first fastening end has a semi elliptical shape, and wherein the second fastening end has a semi elliptical shape, wherein the first end of the elongated soft body is proportionally sized and integrally connected to a major axis of the first fastening end and the second end of the elongated soft body is proportionally sized and integrally connected to a major axis of the second fastening end. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the second fastener mechanisms is configured to adjustably mate with the first fastener mechanism in a plurality of positions such that each position provides a different perimeter for the baby support when the second fastening end overlaps the first fastening end to secure the baby support. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first and second fastening ends are tapered. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the second fastener mechanism comprises one or more strips of fabric loop fasteners parallel to a longitudinal axis of the baby support and the first fastener mechanism comprises one or more strips of fabric hook fasteners perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the baby support. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein the second fastener mechanism comprises one or more strips of fabric hook fasteners parallel to a longitudinal axis of the baby support and the first fastener mechanism comprises one or more strips of fabric loop fasteners perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the baby support. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the stretch fabric comprises two layers of four way stretch fabric. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the baby support comprises a first and second pieces of stretch fabric sewn together at the perimeters, wherein the elongated soft body has a front and back side, wherein the first fastening end has a front and back side, and wherein the second fastening end has a front and back side, wherein the first piece of stretch fabric provides the front sides and the second piece of stretch fabric provides the back sides. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the baby support has a front side and a rear side, wherein the second fastener mechanism is on the front side and the first adjustable fastener mechanism is on the rear side. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the elongated soft body comprises a cushion, the method further comprising supporting the back torso of the supporting person with the cushion. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the first and second adjustable fastener mechanisms are selected from the group consisting of: hook and loop, buttons and button holes, snaps, hooks and eyes, ties, toggles, buckles, elastic loops and tabs. 12. A method for supporting a baby positioned on a front torso of a supporting person in skin-to-skin contact, the method comprising: extending an elongated soft body around a portion of a back torso of the supporting person and around a portion of a back torso of the baby;securing the baby on a front torso of the supporting adult by fastening an adjustable fastening mechanism integrally connected to the elongated soft body, wherein the adjustable fastening mechanism is configured to adjustably fasten in a plurality of positions such that each position provides a different perimeter for the baby support when secured; andstretching the baby support to generate an elastic force to pull the back torso of the baby towards the back torso of the supporting person to maintain the skin-to-skin contact between the baby and the supporting person, to maintain the skin-to-skin contact between the baby and the supporting person, the entire length and width of the baby support, including both the elongated soft body and the first and second fastening ends, being made of stretch fabric configured to contour the baby to provide a secure and snug support through stretch in four directions to generate an elastic force to pull the back torso of the baby towards the back torso of the supporting person such that a plane of the elastic force extends to the entire length and width of the baby support. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein an entire height of at least a portion of the elongated soft body is configured to stretch in a lengthwise direction to distribute the elastic force along the entire height of the at least a portion of the elongated soft body. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the elongated soft body is configured to stretch in four directions. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein the elongated soft body is configured to stretch in a lengthwise direction to pull the back torso of the baby towards the back torso of the supporting person. 16. The method of claim 12, wherein the elongated soft body is configured to stretch in a lengthwise and a crosswise direction. 17. The method of claim 12, wherein in use the baby support positions the baby on the front torso of the supporting person such that the skin of the baby is in direct contact with the skin of the supporting person. 18. The method of claim 12, wherein the adjustable fastening mechanism comprises a first fastener affixed to a first end of the elongated soft body and a second fastener affixed to a second end of the elongated soft body, wherein the a first fastener adjustably mates with the second fastener. 19. A method for supporting a baby positioned on a front torso of a supporting person in skin-to-skin contact, the method comprising: extending a baby support across a back torso of the supporting person, under each arm of the supporting person, across each side torso of the supporting person, and across a back torso of the baby, wherein the baby support comprises an elongated soft body with a first and a second end, a first fastening end integrally connected to the first end of the elongated soft body, the first fastening end having a first fastener adjustable mechanism, and a second fastening end integrally connected to the second end of the elongated soft body, the second fastening end having a second adjustable fastener mechanism configured to adjustably mate with the first adjustable fastener mechanism of the first fastening end;overlapping the baby support to affix the second fastener mechanism to the first fastener mechanism to support the baby on the front torso of the supporting adult; andstretching the baby support to generate an elastic force to pull the back torso of the baby towards the back torso of the supporting person to maintain the skin-to-skin contact between the baby and the supporting person, to maintain the skin-to-skin contact between the baby and the supporting person, the entire length and width of the baby support, including both the elongated soft body and the first and second fastening ends, being made of stretch fabric configured to contour the baby to provide a secure and snug support through stretch in four directions to generate an elastic force to pull the back torso of the baby towards the back torso of the supporting person such that a plane of the elastic force extends to the entire length and width of the baby support.
