Hi Kristen -
I've heard them referred to as belly bands. Anybody else hear of a more
technical term?

Subject: Belly Button Wrap


     Does anyone know the name (either common or Nomenclature) for the
     piece of cloth that was wrapped around a baby to protect its belly
     button during healing? This was done up to the middle of the 20th
     century.
     Thanks,
