Abstract:
An apparatus for treating colic in infants including a garment having a garment body for wearing by the infant. A pair of bands extend latterly from opposite sides and in opposed directions from the garment for wrapping around the torso the infant. The bands have a width such that they extend from just below the underarms of the infant to the hips of the infant. The bands wrap around opposite sides of the infant's torso in front-to-back direction where the free ends of the bands are secured to the back of the garment. A pocket on the front of the garment is configured to receive a thermal pack to provide thermal therapy to the infant. In treating colic, the bands are wrapped snuggly about the infant's torso applying warmth and a slight pressure to thereby relieve discomfort.
