Do babies need a bandage?

A navel hernia does not bother the child in any way. Externally, the pathology manifests itself in the formation of a protrusion in the umbilical region, which increases when the baby cries, coughs, or defecates. To prevent complications and prevent further growth of the hernia, doctors recommend using a special belt that has a local effect on the protrusion. The device stimulates increased muscle activity by gently irritating the abdomen. The action of the bandage in combination with massage and other methods of therapy ensures the strengthening and healing of the umbilical ring, which is an important condition for the treatment of pathology.

Device Description

A bandage for infants is necessary for the progression of an umbilical hernia. You can buy it at the pharmacy. The product is a soft elastic belt, pleasant to the touch. The device consists of the belt itself, a hernia restrictor - pelot (a plate sewn into the fabric) and fastenings. The plate is designed to provide compression on the umbilical protrusion. Thanks to this, it is possible to prevent the loss of internal organs. Corset fasteners can be in the form of Velcro, rivets, or belts.

Manufacturers use hypoallergenic fabrics to make children's bandages. The material absorbs moisture well and allows air to pass through, which prevents diaper rash. When wearing the product, infants do not develop heat rash. Repeated washing is allowed, which extends the shelf life of the bandage to 2 years.

It is recommended to buy the product in pharmacies. It is important to ensure that the product has a license and quality certificates.

Congenital umbilical hernia in children is a common occurrence. Usually this pathology manifests itself in the first days of life.

Why do newborns develop a hernia in the navel area?

The popular opinion that a child gets a hernia from constant screaming now does not suit even grandmothers. It is useful for parents to remember how the umbilical ring develops. While the fetus was in the uterus, through this formation the entire connection between the child and the mother’s body was carried out. The hole in the abdominal wall was significantly larger.

It freely passed through the arteries and veins of the umbilical cord; any compression threatens the baby’s life. The wide passage added space for intestinal loops, which grow more rapidly than the fetal abdomen.

When the period of intrauterine development ends, the large ring becomes unnecessary. In its place, a dense scar forms, and the muscles form the abdominal wall, supporting the internal organs of the abdomen.

The diagnosis is confirmed by a qualified surgeon

Scar tissue may be weak in children born prematurely who have a hereditary deficiency in the structure of connective tissue. In these cases, the hole does not close completely and a hernia forms.

Negative aspects can be eliminated by taking into account the recommendations of a specialist in the selection and operation of the device. Choosing the right size will prevent the belt from slipping and chafing. Purchasing quality products from a specialty store or pharmacy will help you avoid diaper rash and allergies.

How to choose a quality product

When choosing a device, you should strictly adhere to certain rules. This will help avoid purchasing low-quality products and prevent the development of complications in the child. Orlett medicinal products are not divided into men's and women's, but they have some differences. The difference lies in the width of the belt and the diameter of the pilot - the limiter plate. The choice of these criteria should be entrusted to the doctor. Parents should pay attention to the following characteristics of the device:

The fabric from which the belt is made should be soft, hypoallergenic, and breathable. This can be determined by studying the product instructions.
The internal seams of the product are hidden and done neatly. This will prevent chafing of your baby's delicate skin. Ideally, the baby should not feel an additional burden.
When purchasing, you need to carefully inspect the product, fasten and unfasten the fastenings several times, make sure that they do not come apart.
Products must contain a license and quality certificates.
When purchasing a belt from unknown companies, it is recommended to read reviews about the manufacturer.

Children grow up quickly. To prevent the belt from becoming small after a few weeks, it is recommended to give preference to a product with Velcro. This will allow you to adjust the size depending on the baby's height.

How to put on and how long to wear the product

To put on an umbilical bandage, you need to: 1 — place the child on his tummy, 2 — spread the bandage on a hard surface, 3 — evaluate the absence of rashes on the skin of the tummy and correct the hernia, 4 — fasten the bandage.
