"I have had a pediatric and prenatal chiropractic practice for over a decade and the number one reason new moms bring their babies in for chiropractic care- while other methods have failed- is acid reflux and tummy issues. MEMEENO's belly bands are sometimes the only thing to provide relief to these babies with gastrointestinal issues. I love MEMEENO's products because not only are they the only company that provide a non-invasive and gentle method, but they do so with all organic cotton and non-toxic material."     - Dr. Nona Djavid

MEMEENO Belly Band Safety Tips & Precautions

The MEMEENO baby belly band is not a medical device. It is a baby accessory intended to warm and protect the belly to help soothe your baby. The band is not intended for use on babies with any underlying medical conditions (i.e. GERD, reflux, hernia, etc.). Results may vary as no one product can guarantee a complete solution to a baby’s fussiness, gas and colic. All babies respond differently to various soothing methods and where one product may work for one baby, it may have no such effect on another. It often takes a little trial and error to find the right safe solution or combination of methods to help soothe a baby with colic or gas.

• Spread band on bed, lay baby on top and fasten in front. Spread band on a safe, flat surface, lay baby on top of band and pull the left flap under the arms and over the belly and then pull up the right flap and gently fasten on top. Fasten the band snug but NOT too tight. There should be space for one or two fingers to easily slip underneath. See our online video to demonstrate how to fasten the band.
• USE to keep belly warm and protected or when baby is fussy/struggling to pass gas/constipation. Observe baby and learn her cues to know when best time to fasten. Keep on until your baby finds relief and then feel free to remove the band.

• If the touch fastener is exposed on a side, slide the band so that it is towards the baby's back.

• Place the band ONLY underneath the arms and around the belly area so that it stays secure, otherwise it could pose a strangulation and suffocation hazard. NEVER let the band go over arms or over mouth and nose. See how to properly wear the band in pictures here.

• Wait about 20 minutes after feeding and after thoroughly burping before fastening the band.

• DO NOT use with restraints such as car seats, strollers, or swings, etc.

• DO NOT use if your baby is sick, has a cough, fever or has any other underlying medical conditions. 

• If baby spits up, cries repeatedly while wearing the band, discontinue use.

• While sleeping, it should be worn UNDERNEATH light fabric pajamas/onesie or sleep sacks. Avoid dressing your baby in thick, warming (i.e. fleece) garments or sacks to prevent overheating. Keep room at a cool temperature between 68-72 degrees F. Baby should not be hot to the touch.
• Use during the day and monitor your baby at all times while wearing the band. Do not keep on for long periods of time.
• This product is designed to be used with the AAP sleep practices.
• Always be sure to follow safe sleep practices.
• Changes or modifications to the product or method of use not provided in the manual are not approved by the manufacturer.

Safe Sleep Practices

• Place your baby on his back to sleep.
• Let your baby sleep in a crib in your room for six months to one year.
• Use a flat & firm sleep mattress. Don’t let the bedding come loose.
• Keep your baby’s crib empty. No stuffed animals, bumpers, small or large pillows, inclines.
