Meditex Infant And Child Umbilical Navel Hernia Truss Belt - Medium

I am usually very conservative doing reviews but i felt i had to do one for this particular product. My newborn son got a case of umbilical hernia during his 3rd week. The hernia started as a size of a small cherry, soon grew to a size of a large strawberry within 2 weeks. We took him to the GP (doctor) who advised that the condition was not uncommon and that it will most likely go away by his first birthday. Unfortunately i was not willing to wait for a year and secondly we were too worried to carry him and comfort him with this hernia sticking out so much, always very conscious that we might hurt it or rub it too much accidentally and bruise it.So after doing some research, i ordered the belt and was very pleased to see the quality of its manufacture when it arrived. We started to use it straight away. He had it on at least for 18 hours a day, every day over the next 2 weeks or so (only removed for night sleeps, bath, nappy changes etc) The difference in the size of the hernia was evident within 2 weeks. It started to subside. In the next 4 weeks or so, the hernia had subsided to a point where it was barely evident and thats when we stopped using it. In total it took 6-8 weeks from the belts arrival and use that the hernia totally settled. Even the health visitor who visited us 4-5 times during that period was quite pleased with the results and admitted that seeing the size of the hernia previously she would've never expected it to go away completely so soon. Overall, we couldnt have been more pleased with this produce.The doctor said that it could be that the hernia settled on its own and it was just a matter of chance that we used the belt, but as far as we are concerned we really feel that the belt helped in accelerating the settling of the hernia. I would have no hesitance in recommending this. Only point to note is that, i ordered a medium size for my 3 week old (only size available at the time) but i really feel that size small would have been the most appropriate.

Amazing!Doctors again said there Was no need For a belt but i m glad i did buy one. My baby s hernia improved substantially and in one month has almost disappeared. In the past i was really couscious on how i Was handling My baby but now knowing His belt is in position at All time i feel much more confident. My baby is wearing it Day and night non stop. Size M for a 2month old baby will do.

Very quick delivery. Used it on my son immediately and could seeimprovement after couple of days.however, i had to check often as it does not stay in place (only reason for giving 4 star)

Not suitable for big hernias which my baby has
