What is Bengkung Belly Binding?

 

Bengkung is the Malaysian tradition of binding the belly using a long strip of cloth. This ensures strong support to the mother's healing postpartum body. 

 

Belly binding helps:

• Realign the belly muscles that separate during pregnancy and "close" the hip bones 

• Prevent back pain by promoting proper posture, especially during nursing

• May decrease postpartum bleeding time, naturally 

 

Your wrap should be worn for 10-12 hours each day for 40 days, or longer if you would like to continue to enjoy the benefits. It can be worn under or over your clothes and you may alternate between day and night wear as you prefer.
