In the Words of a NICU Father
"I want to start by thanking you for the work that you're doing. While I've had little experience in the NICU, it seems like the Belly Band is a welcome addition to the care regimen for the babies. The simplest solutions are sometimes the most elegant. We're thankful for your thoughtful innovation, it has had a positive impact on the boys' time in the NICU and alleviated potential discomfort from belly distention, bowel issues, and aiding in overall development during such a critical time by allowing them to grow with a few less complications."
In the Words of a Mother
"My son Teddy was born at 33 weeks with Prune Belly Syndrome, a condition with decreased/lack of abdominal wall musculature and associated with urogenital abnormalities. In the NICU, we were given DandleLION NeoBellyBands to help support his abdominal wall and absolutely fell in love with the product. The material is so soft, stretchy, and provides good support without being too restrictive. In addition to the support, it helps immensely with GI motility, keeping his belly from getting bloated with air, and helps with urination. We were so sad when he outgrew the available sizes, but after reaching out to Ginny McGill and the manufacturer they are going above and beyond by helping to get us a larger size for him to continue to wear until his abdominal surgery in a few months. Can't say enough good things about this product or company!

Carter Had a Belly Band
"This is my third micro-preemie and first with the belly band. I cannot believe the overall change in appearance and comfort it has brought to my baby."
Sophie did not
This picture shows the "bloat and uncomfortable posture she held."
Belly Band
"Seeing the difference, a belly band has made in the overall health and comfort of these tiny babies and the dramatic change while wearing the belly band has made significant improvements ... ."
Belly Bling
"While the belly band with Carter's Belly Bling was being used, it turned a very traumatic time a lot less intimidating, being able to change the bling every day and seeing the progression of health growth within the abdominal area brought a lot of joy, not only to me but to the entire care team."
Belly Bling
"Thank you for allowing my baby to enjoy the comfort and for allowing me to enjoy the fun with his bling."
It was a joy to work with this family, a Mom innovating and sharing how she could bring fun into a stressful environment was inspiring.
