Instructions

How to secure the Miracle Belt™
1) Make sure the strap on the belt is pulled through the plastic slide to ensure the strap is secured.

3) Securely fasten the belt around your child's waist by adjusting the strap.

How to wear the Miracle Belt™
Align the center point (Silver STAR) of the belt with your child's belly button or as instructed by your therapist/physician. Some children may prefer the weight of the belt around the back.

How long should my child wear the belt?
The belt may be worn for 15 to 30 minutes up to 4 times a day or as long as your child feels comfortable. Make sure your child has occasional breaks from wearing the belt.

Tips
1) Secure the belt firmly, but not too tight.
2) Share your experience with your therapist/physician.
3) The belt may be used as a lap pad while sitting or eating.
4) Keep the belt in your child's room so they become familiar with the belt.
