ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for treating colic in infants including an elongate, belt-like device comprised of two-layers of fabric and hook and loop fasteners at opposite ends for securing the device about an infants lower torso. The belt may also include a third layer of rubber or similar air impermeable material, encased between the two layers for trapping heat between the device and the infants body. In treating colic, the belt is wrapped snugly about the infants lower torso, overlying the bellybutton region applying warmth and slight pressure to thereby relieve discomfort.
