Bengkung Belly Binding
What is Bengkung Belly Binding?
Bengkung belly binding is the art of wrapping a postpartum person'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 the abdomen from the hips to the ribcage. People 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.

For Best Results
Birthing people should be wrapped as soon as they can after birth, ideally on the fifth day of postpartum. The belly bind should be worn daily for 8-12 hours a day for at least 40 days or longer. Often people who use a belly bind after birth return to their own pre-pregnancy size in 6-8 weeks.
Cesarean delivery light abdominal wrapping, for comfort, can begin after stitches are healed with no pressure on the incision. Normally after 14 days, more snug wrapping can occur above the incision area. After 4- 6 weeks until the incision is mostly healed with clearance from the care provider the birthing person can begin normal binding. These times are all estimates, it depends on the birthing person's medical condition.
