The Colic Sleep Guide — Digital eBook

TummyHush combines two pediatrician-recommended methods: gentle compression and natural warmth therapy. The adjustable band provides soothing pressure on your baby's tummy, while the removable heat insert (filled with natural red beans) delivers gentle warmth that relaxes smooth muscle and helps release trapped gas.

Yes! TummyHush is made from soft, hypoallergenic cotton with a plush minky dot texture. The adjustable velcro closure ensures a snug but gentle fit for babies from newborn to 12 months. Always test the heat insert temperature on your inner wrist before applying.

Simply microwave the red bean insert for 15-20 seconds, test the temperature on your inner wrist, then slide it into the pocket on the back of the bear face. The natural warmth lasts 20-30 minutes — usually plenty of time for your baby to calm down and fall asleep.

We offer a full 90-day money-back guarantee. If TummyHush doesn't help your baby, simply return it for a complete refund — no questions asked. But based on feedback from thousands of parents, we're confident you'll love it.

We recommend using TummyHush during supervised awake time, tummy time, and feeding — not overnight sleep or unsupervised napping.

Most parents use it during the witching hour (typically 6pm–11pm), during evening feeds, or to help settle a baby into a calm state before transferring them to a safe sleep environment. Once your baby is drowsy and calm, remove the band and follow standard safe sleep guidelines from the AAP: baby on back, in a bare crib or bassinet, no loose items.

The good news: most colic episodes happen during awake fussy windows, not during sleep. TummyHush is designed to make those windows survivable.

TummyHush is designed to fit babies from roughly 5 lbs and up. The band has an adjustable closure that accommodates tiny newborn bodies without bunching, and a soft stretch panel that grows with your baby through about 12 months.

For premature babies under 5 lbs or babies still in the NICU, we recommend waiting until your pediatrician clears your baby for home-based comfort measures before using any belly band.

If you're unsure whether the fit is right for your baby's current size, email support@tummyhush.com with your baby's weight and we'll tell you honestly whether to wait a few weeks. We'd rather lose a sale than have you use it before it fits properly.

Yes. TummyHush works externally — gentle warmth and compression on the belly — so it doesn't interact with anything your baby is taking by mouth.

Many parents use TummyHush alongside their current routine during the transition. Over time, most find they naturally phase out the drops because the band is handling what they were hoping the drops would handle. But there's no rule that says you have to stop anything. Use what works.

As always, talk to your pediatrician before starting, stopping, or combining any product given to your baby by mouth.

It's not too late. Colic typically peaks around 6 weeks and resolves between 3 and 4 months, but gas, fussiness, and reflux symptoms often continue well beyond that window. TummyHush is designed for babies 0–12 months, which covers the full period most parents deal with digestive discomfort.

If your baby is still having hard evenings, trapped gas, or fussy stretches at 3 months, the band will still help. Many parents actually find it more effective after 6 weeks because the baby has grown into a size where the compression sits exactly where it needs to.

The best time to start is the day you realize you need it.

We recommend wearing sessions of 20–30 minutes at a time, with breaks between uses. You can use it multiple times a day — most parents use it during the worst fussy windows in the evening, and sometimes during daytime feeds if gas is an issue.

The heat insert stays warm for roughly 30 minutes per heating cycle and can be re-warmed as needed. You'll know when it's time to take it off — either your baby has calmed and is ready to be transferred, or the insert has cooled and the session is complete.

Always check the temperature of the insert against your inner wrist before placing it against your baby, and never leave a baby unattended while wearing the band.
