Postpartum Doula
Belly binding has been done for centuries.
It is often confused with items on the market that target a different area of the body and are more about body shaping, as opposed to healing and support. Belly binding is the tradition of wrapping the postpartum belly 2-4 days after a vaginal birth (or 10 days to 2 weeks after a cesarean birth). A long cloth is used to wrap the belly in the lower pelvic area up to the belly button. The wrapping is typically done daily, for 6 weeks, to provide physical support for the new mother. Many women describe it feeling like a big hug, which provides emotional support as well.
