ABOUT BELLY BANDING
Belly banding is an age-old practice of reducing baby colic symptoms of gas and general fussiness without using any potentially harmful herbs or heating elements. No gas drops, gripe water or special teas, no windi tubes needed. Just an all natural external remedy for gas and colic. For centuries, parents across the globe in the United States, Asia, Europe, and Latin America, have relied on belly banding or abdominal binding, as it is often called, to reduce gassiness and stomach aches by simply wrapping a cloth, band, or abdominal binder around baby's waist and tummy, adding some pressure and warmth. The founder, Alie always says, "A little hug and a lot of warmth is all you need to soothe your baby."
This dual action of warmth and compression helps to facilitate digestion and the passing of gas bubbles inside the baby's still developing digestive tract. It takes 2 years for a baby's digestive system to fully develop, resulting often in tummy trouble and aches. It takes the same amount of time for infants to grow strong stomach muscles. There are many causes and remedies for gas, colic and fussiness. What works for some babies may not work for others. So, it is always recommended to consult with a doctor about symptoms. This band also helps to protect the navel area from bacteria or dirt that may come from clothing or diapers. With proper cord care, it helps to reduce potential infection or irritation in the navel region. Abdominal binders have also been used to ensure that a baby's belly button remains and "innie" and not an "outie."
The MEMEENO band is exclusively designed and made of super soft 100% organic cotton front and back with a fleece infill to ensure your little one’s optimal belly warmth and comfort. The prints are made with 100% organic water-based dyes. The band is recommended for newborns to 12 months.
The belly band has many different names, it's also known as belly button belt, umbilical binder, hernia belt, navel truss, navel belts or infant belly binder, abdominal binder, belly wrap, baby hernia truss, neonatal belly band or navel belly band.
Parents can gently wrap around baby’s waist, snuggly fasten at the belly, leaving one or two finger spaces in between baby and band. Do not fasten too tight, but a little pressure is okay. The band is best used after giving baby a bath to warm and protect the tummy from the cold.
