How can I restore my baby’s belly button?

The baby's belly button is actually a common name among the people. In medicine, it is called umbilical hernia. We know that the belly button is located below the abdomen. During the development of the fetus, it is the last part of the body to close. This part of the body has relatively less fat tissue and is the weakest part of the complex wall. If it is not properly adjusted, it is likely to cause umbilical hernia. At this time, you must carry out corresponding treatment in time. If there is infection, you must carry out anti-inflammatory treatment in time. You can usually use pure cotton cloth to make it into an egg-enriched cloth, which will help promote absorption and avoid the phenomenon of bulging up and down. Of course, you can also buy professional umbilical hernia belts, which are also very effective.

The first type is cotton cloth belly band

It is a 10cm wide belly band made of high-density, non-elastic cotton cloth, and the two sides of the belly band are glued with nylon buckles. The disadvantage of this method is that when the baby cries or coughs, there is not enough force to prevent the belly button from bulging out. Moreover, it always moves up and down and always goes to the wrong side. When the baby just kicks his legs and stretches, the belly band will move to the thin waist. Adults always have to watch and adjust the position.

The second method is to make a belly band with coins and ping pong balls

Use a one-yuan coin, wrap it with cloth, and then sew it to the belly band. When tying it, press the coin on your belly button. In addition to coins, we also tried using cut-up ping-pong balls and gum bottle caps. This method still cannot solve the problems of displacement and deviation, and the coverage area of ​​the coin is too small, so the effect is very limited. In addition, coins and ping-pong balls carry a large number of germs. If the baby's skin is abraded, it may be infected with various inflammations, causing greater harm.

The third method is to use a professional umbilical hernia belt

Later, at the suggestion of an experienced mother in the QQ group, we purchased an umbilical hernia belt for infants and young children from the Internet. It was much better than the one we made ourselves and was more beautiful. Because the belly bands I made before could not avoid deviation, I paid special attention to this problem when purchasing an umbilical hernia belt, and deliberately chose an umbilical hernia belt with a "flat" large hernia bag, which covers the baby's belly button better and is not prone to displacement. After wearing it for less than a month, the baby's umbilical hernia was completely healed. If we had known that there was an umbilical hernia belt specifically for treating baby's umbilical hernia, we wouldn't have had to go through the trouble of making one ourselves, and our baby's flat belly button would have healed sooner. Fortunately, the baby's flat belly button was not made worse due to delayed treatment.
