Let’s share about Belly Binding, which is what I’m giving to the new mother.
Belly Binding is what I do after Mama has given birth & is part of my postpartum care.
Mother is 2 days postpartum and I share here how I bind the belly while also showing the father, so then he can do this for her afterwards, he also leans the importance of looking after mama and its beautiful to no they are involved in the care to.
Let me share a bit on Belly Binding and why it’s so important for the next 40 days of your postpartum period.
For centuries, postpartum belly binding has been used to support the body’s natural healing process, potentially reducing discomfort while providing emotional support and a sense of feeling grounded.
Postpartum belly binding is the technique of firmly wrapping material around your abdomen to support the spine and organs during your recovery from childbirth.
This also gives the womb support & helps support her back into alignment
When used correctly, postpartum wraps and binders may help support organs as they move back into place and help keep muscles stable while the body heals.
It’s believed that this tradition dates back to ancient times and has been practiced for centuries across cultures, including those in Africa, South America, Europe, and Asia.
Traditional belly wraps, like the knotted bengkung bind from Malaysia or the sarashi wrap from Japan, were typically made from long strips of soft, breathable materials like cotton, silk, and muslin.
These are only a few of examples of many, we see the use of Rebozos & Faja’s from Mexico and Peru still be widely used for women during pregnancy & beyond
It’s important to remember that your well-being comes first. During your postpartum recovery, rest, recuperation, and time are often what your body needs most. So please go easy on yourself while you heal.
A link is within my bio to see how I can support you during this precious process & your postpartum recovery.
