bengkung belly binding:

Bengkung belly binding is the art of wrapping a postpartum women's belly for physical support and to help hasten the recovery process after childbirth. This belly binding technique uses a long strip of cloth to wrap around around the abdomen from the hips to the ribcage. Women are traditionally wrapped as soon after birth as possible, ideally on day five and then worn for 40 days or longer as needed.

The Bengkung belly binding technique is rooted in Malaysian culture however various countries and cultures around the world use a form of belly binding to help support the healing process.

What are the Benefits of Belly Binding?

For Best Results
Women should be wrapped as soon they can after birth, ideally on day two postpartum up to 12 weeks. The belly bind should be worn daily for a minimum of 4 hours a day for at least 40 days or longer. Often women who use a belly bind after birth return to their own pre-pregnancy size in 8-12 weeks.

After a cesarean birth women should wait at least 2 weeks until the incision is mostly healed before they are wrapped. If your doctor is ok with you being wrapped before, please inform me.
