Postpartum Belly Binding

During pregnancy the body goes through many physical changes that usually result in a firm and full-feeling belly, but postpartum can bring some opposing sensations that leave you wondering if you’ll ever get your body back. Imagine wrapping your newly postpartum body in a warm embrace, perfectly supporting your lower back, hips, and newly postpartum belly. You can with Boise Birth Services Belly Binding.

What is it?

Your trained Belly Binder uses a traditional method of wrapping your abdomen, hips, and lower ribcage with a 100% cotton muslin wrap that’s breathable yet supportive. You won’t overheat or feel constricted with our wraps and the best part is they fit any size body.

Is this a fad?

No, many cultures, especially those in Japan, Mexico, India, and Malaysia, have been using belly binding as an ancient tradition surrounding childbirth and the postpartum time.

What is included?

Day 1: your belly binder will come to you with the wrap, answer any questions you may have about the process, then proceed with wrapping. The process usually takes less than one hour but you may be wrapped multiple times as desired for fit or for teaching.
Day 2: your belly binder will rewrap your belly making sure you can either wrap yourself or a support person can. Additional charges apply for more than two sessions.

A mini-postpartum session to answer any questions about postpartum, providing referrals, etc.

How long can you wear the wrap?

At first binding, we recommend wearing the wrap for 12-24 hours. Then it should be worn 6-12 hours a day for 1-2 weeks after the first binding and as often and as long as desired thereafter. If you are wishing to close diastasis recti, please consult your physical therapist or program for guidelines.
