Medical Grade Umbilical Hernia Belt, Baby, Infant, Child Abdominal Binder Navel Truss Support

Belly BandPediatrician expected us to just wait for the hernia to "fix itself" just like his tongue-tie or torticollis would just "fix itself" within the first few years. Nope! I don't think so. Proactive, observant, sometimes obsessive mommy of three here. Lol!Seriously, I was a bit freaked out about baby's belly button/ hernia looking and sounding (gurgling) like it was about to explode every time he cried or pooped. I felt it was getting worse, which it likely was because there was no resistance or restraint to help keep the belly button within its proper location. Thought of making some type of soft splint, which worked temporarily, but the gauze wrap kept twisting into a rope and rubbing into his soft waistline, and the cottonball wouldn't stay put on the belly button. Anyway, I came across this little inexpensive gem on Amazon, and it was EXACTLY what I had tried to make. This belt is wonderful, simple, safe, inexpensive, and effective. The ONLY con is the velcro/ hook and loop wears out super fast. I found an easy fix: safety pin. Yup, just like a pin used on cloth diapers or your blouse. This belt will work rather quickly if you (1) start using it when baby is young and most likely less mobile (not so much wiggling) because it will stay in place easier; (2) leave it on as often as possible; (3) make sure the belt's little nodule is directly over the belly button; (4) regularly and very gently press baby's hernia/belly button in prior to positioning the belt's little nodule over it; and (5) the safety pin was a game-changer that actually works better than the belt's velcro/ hook and loop. I very seldom removed the belt once the safety pin was secure in place. You want the belt comfortably snug enough to apply a bit of pressure on the belly button, but not so snug that baby can't nurse comfortably or move. You don't want to change the shape of baby's waistline or anything. This isn't meant to be a corset. Lol! However, you do want a soft, gentle splint that stays in place OVER the baby's clothes. Watch to make sure there is no bruising, irritation, or scratching around the waist or where velcro may rub against bouncing little exposed thighs. The more baby properly wears the belt, the quicker and more likely the hernia will be corrected. I think some people recommend buying two belts, and I can definitely see that being beneficial. My little guy had a few back blowouts or wet diapers that required cleaning (just a gentle hand wash with a little baby soap, warm water, then air dry) the belt and missing precious hours of therapy. Final tip: when changing baby, you can easily wiggle the pinned belt above baby's waist so you don't have to unpin and repin for every single diaper change. Then, once done with diaper change, gently press in hernia with your finger, reposition clothes, and wiggle belt right back in place so nodule is directly over pushed in hernia. Baby's belt was never removed unless it was bath time. When worn often and properly, I can see this therapy fixing or at least substantially minimizing any baby's hernia in 2 weeks max. This review is rather long only because of our personal trials and errors over the course of about two months, and I really want to help parents who may be interested in or undecided about this belt.

My daughter has a big belly button hernia. Doctors said nothing is wrong let it heal on it's own. That'll be from 1 year old toooooo...... FOUR.She stared getting very constipated. Where she was going several times a day. In her 4th week she dropped down to once a day. Then nothing.All rhyme and reason told me 'hey, her INTESTINES are sticking out of her muscle wall and belly button. That seems like a kink in the water hose right?I tried prune juice which works but you can't give it everyday unless you're a 70 year old 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️I bought this. People online swore that the hernia would get caught in between and damage their intestines. Others said it healed. Not doctor recommended. Well at baby number 2 I've been not quite given all the information to make an informed decision. She's had problems no 1 didn't.I swirl her hernia back in, in a circular motion so as not to pinch, and good for gas. I now only have to leave the belt on for 30 minutes and she'll have a bowel movement within hours or a night. The hernia has slowly gotten smaller. I've been nervous to leave it on all day because she squirms a lot. Get one of these immediately when you bring home new baby with a hernia. They'll be a lot more still. If I had done that instead of waiting after we discovered it the first week.It was huge and purple. Now with minimal wearing its her skin color.If your baby belts out the cries or has colic then it's only going to get bigger.This keeps the muscles and intestines more in place.

This thing helped my sons Umbilical hernia like you wouldn’t believe. I was so worried about it, that I seriously wanted to try any and everything I could to help. It was so bad that you’d push on it and you could feel the bubbles and air inside the hernia, and once pushed in-it pop out just as fast. He was is such discomfort. and had a hard time pooping. The stupid hospital was putting him in diapers too big for him when born that it cause hi umbilical cord to come off within days of being born, rather than weeks. I was so upset. But I turned that anger into a mission to solve the problem. My pediatrician said these don’t work- blah blah blah, but the results speak for themselves. You don’t want to wrap it too tight because it can cause discomfort and inability to release all the waste the little one needs to. But place it to where it pushes their little hernia in and they’re comfy. The first photo is of his hernia initially. He also had a umbilical granuloma- which they treated with some silver nitrate to help shrink and heal that. The two in the combo I believe helped. My son wore this belt for 2 1/2, almost 3 months. Pictures 2 & 3 were oft sons progress after 3 weeks or so. maybe about a month. The last 2 photos are of him now- he’s 4 months old. He seems fine!The fabric does peel if you wash. Which i totally did. I machine washed and air dried and the velcro ends seem started to curl and the little fuzzy balls were all over the thing, but the actual part that pushed in the hernia wasn’t compromised at all. And Id rather have a clean, disinfected belt my son had to wear constantly, than a icky, fuzz ball free one. I tried to put it under and over the clothes, and under the clothes was what stayed in place and worked best for me.I’m so grateful for this product. Because of it, we avoided surgery completely. I pray if you need this product, your results are just as wonderful. Start using it immediately if possible. i believe the sooner the better if needed so as the little muscles close up, they can do it while this helps them close over the hernia, this eliminating the hernia all together.
