Tonus Elast Medical Umbilical Hernia Bandage for Children, Baby Navel Support Belt, Adjustable Hernia Brace for Infants

An excellent product. I was sceptical but my daughter's hernia seemed to be getting more protrusive each day. So without guidance from medical professionals, I used my gut instinct and I am so glad I did. My daughter's hernia completely retracted with little discomfort. It took 6 weeks or so, four weeks wearing night and day and then just at night. The result was unbelievable. I use to hear liquids rumbling in her tummy as her gut was protruding, now it is totally normal. Well worth the purchase. Thanks for a great product. For any mothers or fathers who are unsure, my advice is to give it a try, you have nothing to lose.

Brilliant! I actually bought two belts like this as I wasn't sure which one would work. I started off by using the more expensive blue one on my baby but after a whole week of using there was very little difference to baby's bellybutton. I switched to this product and it worked so much better!! First of all it actually stayed in place unlike the other strap. It looked a lot more comfortable for the baby to wear and the plastic ball was hard and therefore actually pushed the umbilical hernia in. We noticed a significant improvement with every day of wear. One photo shows the hernia after using the first more expensive strap for a week (little to no improvement), another photo shows the hernia after using this product for only 4 days (huge improvement!) And the final photo shows the hernia over a month later (no hernia). We only used the belt for about 2 weeks and then stopped as it had made so much improvement and I felt it could heal on its own then. When using this product, we put it on his vest and he wore it during the day only. I'm sure his bellybutton would have healed by itself anyway but I do think this product made it happen a lot faster and sooner then it would have done.

Good product however the Velcro area becomes frayed which decreases over time with wear n tear

This did exactly what it was supposed to do. Baby no longer has a hernia. GP did nothing - NHS have stopped supplying these and medical advise was to not use it in case it strangulates the bowel and to leave the hernia alone and it would go down by itself. I think this is the NHS using excuses to save money, the babies hernia kept growing and was showing through the clothes. . I had twins both with the same problem so I brought one and used it one one twin. He has a normal belly button now - inner. (I am writing this 2 years later). The other twin had it applied later and his hernia has gone down but is an outie which I think is because he had it applied later. I regret listening to the GP and no buying this sooner as I am sure that both would have had normal belly buttons if I had used it sooner. Anyways hope it helps someone else with a baby.

I haven't used for too long but could see the effect it could have. I recommend, but yes it is true that Hernia will decrease during baby normal growing. One minus... it kept moving, due to the fact that is on a baby (in constat movement too) so I would recommend to make the front part wide as the back. it should be one strip with the same width to avoid misplacement.

I have a 3 month old twin with a large umbilical hernia, with colic. Every time he would cry the hernia would pop out and over the period of 2-3 weeks was the size of a small plum. The GP said we will operate if still present at 3/4 years of age. Every time he cried it would get bigger and the idea of an operation wasn’t fun! I read the reviews and thought I would try this, amazingly after 3 weeks it has reversed and now all intestine are behind the abdominal wall. I want to thank whoever invented this as it save me and my family a lot of stress. 😊

Really not a good product. the belt kept slipping off. The different belt width (being large in middle and thin at edge) doesn't allow it to keep steady. We've tried it for only once and the fluffs are appearing and thread's is coming off. TOTALLY NO RECOMMENDED.

My baby had a big belly bottom I’ve been to the Gp they kept telling me it will go. Then when he turned 4months I was really worry, I went back to the Gp, they said If it doesn’t go he might need operation. So I stayed my research came across this I’ll give this a five start because I’ve used it myself and it worked like magic. Within a few week his belly bottom was normal. I will really recommend this I’ve also passed over to a friend and she start seen the difference after a day.

Mon fils avait une grosse hernie ombilicale. J’ai posé cette ceinture la journée (moment où il pleure le plus et où il pousse pour ses gaz) et enlevé la ceinture la nuit lorsqu’il dort. L’hernie a complètement disparue en 2/3 semaines!!

Un po' caro per quello che è, però, di ottima qualità

This belt is working wonderfully! Super comfortable for bub and he seems completely unbothered by it. It been 4weeks and his belly button hernia has improved so much! Would definitely recommend!

Belly Band Pediatrician 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.

Ésta faja elástica ha sido la solución perfecta para la hernia umbilical de mi bebé. A las 6 semanas le salió un bulto de un tamaño similar a una pelota de ping-pong. Con cada cambio de pañal, reduciendo la hernia con mucho cuidado y colocando el elástico por la zona acolchada encima del ombligo para mantenerlo en su sitio, la hernia se le ha ido. En un mes empezé a notar mejoría y a los 2 meses, prácticamente le había desaparecido. Su banda larga permite el cierre con velcro en la parte delantera (muy práctico en un bebé). Además es lavable. Hay que tener paciencia porque las hernias umbilicales no desaparecen en dos días. Y, sobretodo, ser constante con el uso correcto de la faja. Compré dos por comodidad, por lo que la recomiendo al 100%.
