BENGKUNG BELLY BINDING
A loving envelopment
For nine months you carried your baby in your belly and suddenly your baby is born and your belly is empty. Sometimes this can be very unreal and a feeling of abandonment overtakes you. A Bengkung Belly Bind gives you a welcome loving envelopment of your abdominal and pelvic area, leaving you feeling both physically and emotionally supported.
​
The package consists of 3 treatments, in which your abdominal area is prepared for Belly Binding by means of body work, moxa and a castor oil pack. We come to your home for this. The first session preferably takes place 4-7 days after your delivery. After a caesarean section, we will see together how quickly it feels right for you to put on the abdominal wrap. In any case, it is very important to let the wound heal properly first. This is usually after about 4 to 6 weeks.
​
There are usually 5-7 days between treatments. We teach you how you or your partner can put the cloth on you. You will also receive an instruction video to check everything again. Usually you will feel after 6 to 8 weeks that you no longer need the Belly Binding. Then you can return or send the Bengkung belly wrap and you will receive your deposit back.
*Please make sure someone is present during sessions to care for your baby so we can give you the best possible attention!

BELLY TYING
What is Bengkung Belly Binding?
Bengkung Belly Binding is a traditional Malaysian method of belly binding for a woman who has just given birth, using a long piece of (10-17 meters) of cotton fabric. Belly binding is an effective and important way to help your abdominal area heal in the first weeks after the birth of your baby. Your body recovers in a shorter time than if you do not bind, because of the faster removal of blood, air, and moisture. A Bengkung Belly Wrap offers you 360Ëš support that allows your abs to bounce back, improves your posture, stabilizes your ligaments and gives your entire torso support while all vital organs (including the uterus) return to their pre-pregnancy size and location.
​
Function of the belly bind
During pregnancy you retain water, air and extra weight. This is for a reason; your baby is, as it were, surrounded by fat, air and water to be protected. After childbirth, this no longer has any function and is slowly removed. It is with the help of the belly bind that this is accelerated by the constant supportive pressure around your pelvis and torso, which closes this area after delivery.
Benefits of the belly bind
In addition to all the physical benefits of the abdominal wrap, we often get back that women literally feel supported and can better keep to themselves in the sometimes overwhelming period after childbirth. It also ensures that the entire abdominal area remains pleasantly warm so that the heat can do its work during recovery and you experience fewer neck and upper back complaints when (breast) feeding. It is almost impossible to slump with the belly tie on.
​
How do you use a belly wrap?
The belly wrap is mainly intended for the first weeks in which you are still in bed a lot and therefore do not move very much. As soon as you are more tired, it is recommended to put on the belly wrap mainly in the evening to sleep with it and take it off the next day. The belly bind can be worn for up to 24 hours during the first 2 weeks after your birth, after which 6-10 hours during the night is sufficient. The belly bind is easy to wear until about 4 months after delivery. If you still want to put on the abdominal wrap afterwards, it is good to start doing pelvic floor exercises and gentle abdominal exercises.
