NICU Parent Support: In the Words of a NICU Father
I want to start by thanking you for the work that you're doing in providing NICU support. 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 and bowel issues. This, in turn, aids in their overall development during such a critical time, allowing them to grow with a few less complications. These parent testimonials reflect the positive difference the Belly Band makes.
In the Words of a Mother
My son Teddy was born at 33 weeks with Prune Belly Syndrome, a condition characterized by decreased abdominal wall musculature and associated urogenital abnormalities. During our time in the NICU, we were introduced to DandleLION NeoBellyBands, which served as vital NICU support for Teddy's abdominal wall. We absolutely fell in love with this belly band! The material is incredibly soft and stretchy, providing excellent support without being overly restrictive. Beyond support, it significantly aids in GI motility, preventing his belly from becoming bloated with air, and also assists with urination. We were heartbroken when he outgrew the available sizes. However, after reaching out to Ginny McGill and the manufacturer, they exceeded our expectations by arranging a larger size for him so he can continue wearing it until his abdominal surgery in a few months. I can't express enough how grateful we are for this product and the company behind it!

Belly Bling
While using the belly band with Carter's Belly Bling, I found that it turned a very traumatic time into a much less intimidating experience. The ability to change the bling daily and witness the progression of health growth in the abdominal area brought immense joy, not only to me but also to the entire care team. This NICU support truly made a difference, as highlighted in many parent testimonials.

Thank you for allowing my baby to enjoy the comfort of the Belly Band and for letting me share in 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 NICU support environment was truly inspiring.
