How to Apply:

  • Make sure the belly button is able to be compressed

  • Fold along the perforated lines and then pop the center backing by gently pulling on the device

  • Peel the backing from the perforated line in the middle of the Navel Cradle device

  • Apply the center portion over the herniated area

  • No stretch of the device needed

  • Gently lay down the tails one at a time in a diagonal manner

  • Device can remain on the child for up to 3-5 days

  • End result of application should look like the photos on this page

How to Remove:

  • Saturate the device with olive oil or baby oil

  • Gently rub into material to help dissolve adhesive

  • Let sit for 3-5 minutes prior to peeling back device

  • Gently peel back the device, keeping it close to the skin

  • Wait at least 24 hours before reapplying a new Navel Cradle application to allow the skin to rest

  • Please note, a short duration of skin redness can occur after removal and can be normal/expected. Baby’s skin is sensitive by nature, but this product is made of cotten and has a water based adhesive, so the risk of allergic reaction or blistering is very low. As long as there are no signs of an allergy or blistering, and the redness goes away, you are ok to continue using the product. Never put the Navel Cradle on skin that is currently red and if blistering, although extremely rare, can occur and product should be discontinued at that time.

  • Please note these instructions are not intended to replace medical advice from your child’s pediatrician.
