Happiness is a happy tummy!
But sometimes babies' bellies are not so content. Whether it is from excess gas or colic, our hearts break when our babies are in pain and we look for an immediate solution.
Because there is no accepted medical explanation for colic, there is no one cure. Experts (and parents alike) tend to agree that the "cuddle cure" is often effective. Also know as the five S's, these steps include Swaddling, placing the baby on their Side or Stomach, Swinging the baby, making a Shhh sound in the baby's ear, and giving the baby something to Suck on (Harvey Md Karp, The Happiest Baby on the Block). To this "cure" I would also like to add two more letters; HT.
My acronym, HT stands for Happi Tummi; a mom invented miracle that soothes achy bellies in colicy and gassy babies. Nanette Meneses refused to believe she had to helplessly watch her baby in pain for so many months and set out find an all natural solution. After much research and input from grandmothers, pediatricians, nutritionists and herbalists, Happi Tummi was born. Designed as a two-piece product; part one consists of a super soft washable waistband (available in 3 darling designs) and part two is a cotton insert filled with all natural ingredients (lavender, chamomile, lemon grass, peppermint, spearmint, wheat and flax seed). It is so simple to use and is ready in just 30 seconds!

INGREDIENTS
1 Upset belly
1 Happi Tummi™
DIRECTIONS
1. Remove your Happi Tummi from its package.
2. Place the herb filled pouch in your microwave for 30 seconds (turning after 20 seconds).
3. Test the temperature of the pouch against the inside of your arm (do not use if it is too hot).
4. Insert pouch inside the waistband (Velcro to close).
5. Attach Happi Tummi to baby's abdomen.
6. Swaddle, swing and soothe your baby while the warmed natural ingredients in the herb pouch take effect (usually in just minutes).
7. Enjoy your now happy baby!
Because colic usually starts around week 3 and can continue until month 3 or 4, your Happi Tummi is designed for reuse. When stored properly, the Happi Tummi can last up to 6 months. The Happi Tummi tops my list of must haves for new parents…and I know it will be one of your favorites too. Because when baby is happy, mommy is happy!
