Review on Comfortable And Adjustable Umbilical Hernia Belt For Infants: Support Your Baby'S Abdomen With Our Belly Button Band! by Alexa Johnson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Useful WHEN MODIFIED

The belt itself is useless. Imagine trying to push down the umbilical hernia with the pillow on top, with your infant on their back, then trying to velcro the two sides together behind your infant's back WHILE keeping the pressure on the pillow so the hernia doesn't pop out as you're trying to secure the belt around them. It's impossible.HOWEVER, you CAN use the little belly button pillows that come with this along with some cohesive medical bandage, and that seems to work alright. Just forget about the belt they give you---it's a horrible design to think you could actually secure the velcro properly on your infant's back, whereas the cohesive bandage allows you to stick the two ends together ON TOP of the pillow on their belly button.If this helps someone out there, I am also using a taped-up, sanitized quarter taped with sensitive medical tape over the belly button, then I use the pillow and cohesive bandage over the top of that. This method seems to be working well for my daughter's hernia.

Pros
  • I don't like it because it's too big for my baby belly
Cons
  • May lose its elasticity over time
