Special anti-colic belt for newborns

A newborn baby cries, twists its arms and legs, screams loudly, cannot sleep - these are symptoms of colic well known to mothers. The child throws a real tantrum, causing panic among the parents who do not know what to do about it. Previously, in case of colic, a warm flannel diaper or heating pad heated by an iron was applied to the baby's tummy, and a light tummy massage was done (we also read: how to help a baby with colic). Now there is a more modern remedy - special belts for colic for newborns.

Popular brands of belts: "Happy tummy" from LLC "Adam and Eve" and Baby Nurse from Pecorella. The average price of a belt is 900 rubles.

What is a colic belt

The belt was created in order to relieve painful sensations in the tummy of the baby and help the natural withdrawal of gas. It is made of natural cotton, soft and pleasant to the touch, which does not irritate the delicate skin of the baby, does not cause redness and does not cause any discomfort. The size of the belt is ~ 12.5 * 57 cm. A battery is sold with the belt - a bag of gel, which is heated in water.

The warming belt gently squeezes the baby's tummy, quickly facilitating the passage of the gas. Warm terry cloth gently warms the area around the navel, relieving pain. The product is easily adjustable in size thanks to the convenient Velcro.
