1. What is Bengkung Belly Binding?
Bengkung Belly Binding is a traditional Malaysian practice where a long piece of cloth is wrapped around the abdomen from the hips to the ribcage. This method supports the muscles and organs postpartum, aiding in recovery.
2. What are the benefits of Bengkung Belly Binding?
The benefits include abdominal support, improved posture, reduction in postpartum bleeding, and assistance in shrinking the uterus back to its pre-pregnancy size. It can also help with diastasis recti and provide emotional comfort.
3. How long should I wear the Bengkung wrap each day?
For optimal benefits, it is recommended to wear the wrap for at least 10-12 hours a day, starting from as early as the first week postpartum, for about 40 days. However, the duration can vary based on personal comfort and specific needs.
4. Can I wear the Bengkung wrap if I had a C-section?
Yes, but it's crucial to wait until your incision has healed properly. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting belly binding to ensure it's safe for your specific situation.
5. How do I tie a Bengkung Belly Binding wrap?
Tying a Bengkung wrap involves a specific technique that ensures proper support and comfort. We provide detailed instructions and video tutorials to guide you through the process. Practice makes perfect!
6. What type of fabric is best for Bengkung wraps?
At SageAbay, we use GOTS-certified organic fabrics that are soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic, ensuring maximum comfort and safety for both mom and baby.
7. Can I sleep with the Bengkung wrap on?
While it's generally safe to sleep with the wrap on, ensure it’s tied comfortably and not too tight. Listening to your body is essential; if you feel any discomfort, it’s best to remove it.
8. How do I clean my Bengkung wrap?
Our wraps are made from organic cotton and can be hand-washed with mild detergent or machine washed inside a laundry bag. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach to maintain the fabric's integrity. Line dry only. If you tumble dry it, your wrap will be wrinkled and you will have a hard time to iron it due its long length.
9. Can I use the Bengkung wrap for weight loss?
While Bengkung Belly Binding primarily supports postpartum recovery, some users report feeling slimmer and more supported, which can aid in the overall feeling of well-being. It’s not specifically a weight loss tool.
