Belly banding or abdominal binding is a more common practice than many people might think. Although not proven clinically, for centuries, parents and doctors across the globe in the United States, Asia, Europe, and Latin America, have recommended and relied on belly banding, binding or warming to help reduce gas and stomach aches by simply wrapping a cloth, band, or binder around baby's waist and tummy. There are many causes and remedies for gas, colic and fussiness. What works for some babies may not work for others. Always consult a doctor about your little one’s symptoms.
