Belly binding is an important part of recovering from childbirth, no matter if you delivered naturally or a c-section, it will work wonders for your healing process. To start off you can get yourself an abdominal binder, a compression garment that you wear around your midsection. I remembered after my delivery, I had a mak bidan over to take care of me, after giving me my daily massage and bath, she will wrap me up in a Bengkung, a traditional girdle which was really uncomfortable and going to the bathroom is such a mess.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ABDOMINAL BINDER?

The compression from belly binding increases blood flow and reduces swelling, both of which are key components of the healing process. It pushes your uterus from the outside in, helping it find its pre-pregnancy shape and location. The same is true for your other abdominal organs: compression can help your stomach and intestines drop back into their previous position.

Besides that, the postpartum abdominal binder is also helpful in supporting the lower back because your abdominal muscles are not strong enough to do this. This will help reduce strain and improves posture, especially during breast feeding sessions.

Postnatal Retreat - Blissful Parenting 

I recently came across a postnatal retreat for mothers and babies, Blissful Parenting is a new confinement center located in a lovely triple story bungalow lot in Bangsar with a swimming pool in the court yard. Their team of professional consultants are here to aid new mummies and daddies on how to learn about baby's cues, how to breastfeed successfully, how to establish a successful sleeping routine for babies, baby care basics and even basic first aid these guidance are prepared so the parents will leave the center with confidence and experience on how to take care of a baby.

Blissful Parenting is also the first confinement center that encourages room in for daddies and your older child, I find this really important especially after I had Miya, I wouldn't want to be away from her for a month, I am pretty sure she will be jealous of the newborn if that were to happen, it will be great if she gets to be involved as a big sister and learn how to get along with the new baby.
