You should typically tie your stomach (belly bind) for 6 weeks after delivery.
Belly binding is an age-old practice where a long cloth is wrapped around the abdomen, from the lower pelvic area up to the belly button. It's usually done daily to provide physical support to the new mother as her body recovers from childbirth. Many women find this practice comforting, describing it as a supportive "hug."
Here's a breakdown of the typical duration:
- Typical Duration: 6 weeks
- Purpose: Provide physical and emotional support during postpartum recovery.
It's important to note that individual circumstances may vary, and you should consult with your healthcare provider or a qualified postpartum professional for personalized advice on belly binding techniques and duration that are appropriate for your specific needs and health condition.
