For soon-to-be parents, feeling the baby’s kick inside the womb is an exciting moment. But many dads don’t get the full experience of the gorgeous moment, but that may change in the future. A US team has come up with a novel way for both parents to experience their unborn child’s movements in the womb.

They have developed a pair of belts that allow fathers-to-be to feel their unborn baby kick. Developed by nappy manufacturer Huggies, in conjunction with the creative agency Ogilvy & Mather Argentina, the belts can be worn by expectant parents allowing the father to feel the baby’s movements as the mother feels them.

After four months of development, the nappy brand released a video showing the belts in action. The footage shows a pregnant woman fitting the white, bump-shaped belt around her waist. Her partner is then seen to put a similar device around his waist — and the two are connected. In the video one can see the man’s tearful reaction as he feels the baby move as though it is inside him. One father said, “I feel her moves. I feel her kicks.”

Though it’s still not clear whether the belts will come into production in the near future, it could be a well-received device for father’s who feel left out in the pregnancy stage. Information about this baby belt is not available in India yet, city doctors say and there is no literature on it as yet either.
