Belly Binding After Birth
Have you heard of Bengkung Belly Binding before?
I started wearing mine at 2 weeks postpartum and felt immediately supported after putting it on. I wore it 8-10 hours a day but some experts say you can wear them as long as you’re comfortable and as soon as you give birth, which is when you will need the most support. On the flip side, it’s important not to wear it too long so that your muscles can strengthen themselves naturally.
Some of the other benefits to belly binding are:
Supports uterus return to pre-pregnancy size
Compression from the wrap can aid in flushing out postpartum bleeding
Pelvic Support - Helps move the relaxin hormone out of the body
Supports posture for breastfeeding and general activity
Has been linked to dissuading the “baby blues”
Belly Support
Supporting Recovery in Diastasis Recti
Back Support
You can find the wraps on Etsy by searching for Bengkung Belly Wrap.
