Do newborns have belly bands to use anymore?
#1
I used a belly band on my babies until the navel cord fell out. When my granddaugher was born no one mentioned the band to my DD but we made one. It's not very tight or restricting so I don't know why it isn't used anymore. The baby Dr. told me it will prevent the navel from being an outie. My DD's sis in law didn't use one on her kids and everyone has prodruding belly buttons that her girls are ashamed of.

belly bands are still available, but not popular. As far as an "innie or an outtie" is concerned, it has more to do with how/ and where the cord is cut.
We were taught in nursing school( back when they still used them....) that belly bands were simply to protect the cord from getting knocked off prematurely by the diaper and clothing changes.
