How long after giving birth can I use a belly belt? Is it better to use a belly belt during the day or at night?

Many female friends who love beauty will use belly belts to restore their figure and tighten their skin after giving birth. Many mothers want to shape their bodies as soon as possible. It is generally recommended that the mother use it after 6 to 8 weeks of recovery. Is it better to use a belly belt during the day or at night?

1. You can use a belly belt 3 days after a normal birth.

During pregnancy, the uterus will become larger and the abdominal wall will relax. In addition, the mother will exert too much force during normal delivery, which will cause the belly to become larger and the abdominal muscles to become loose after delivery. Therefore, it is beneficial to tie a belly belt in time after normal delivery. However, do not tie a belly belt immediately after delivery, because there will be a lot of blood stasis in the abdomen in a short period of time, and lochia will be discharged from the vagina. Using a belly belt too early will restrict blood circulation in the body and affect the discharge of lochia. It is best to start using it on the third day after normal delivery. However, if the feeling of falling after delivery is already very serious, it is best not to continue using the belly belt to avoid worsening the situation and even causing the possibility of uterine prolapse.

2. You can use a belly belt 10 days after a caesarean section

Caesarean section is very harmful to women's uterus, and a wound will be sewn on the abdomen. Therefore, it is best to use a belly belt after the wound has healed, about ten days after delivery. Using a belly belt in time can help the recovery of waist and abdominal muscles, prevent internal organs from sagging, prevent wound cracking, stop bleeding, and promote wound healing. However, if a belly belt is used immediately after a caesarean section, it will cause wound infection, suppuration, itching and pain, especially in the hot summer, when the whole body sweats, sweat will invade the wound, and if the belly belt is tightly wrapped, the wound will be painful and itchy, seriously affecting the body's recovery. In addition, if the mother's body recovers well after the caesarean section, she can actually do without the belly belt, especially after the abdominal stitches are removed, and it is not advisable to use the belly belt for a long time.

3. You can use a belly belt one month after miscarriage

If you want to use a belly belt after miscarriage, it is recommended to use it after 1 month, and it is best to let the body recover naturally before using it. Because belly belts or body shaping underwear have a certain amount of pressure on the body to tighten fat and loose meat, and the body is weak after miscarriage, and the functions need to be naturally recovered before using it, which is healthier for the body's internal functions.

It is best to use the belly belt during the day. Do not wear it to sleep at night. The specific reasons are:

1. Wearing a belly band at night affects sleep

The elasticity of the belly band is relatively high. If you tie it tightly for a while, you will feel uncomfortable. If you tie it at night, it will seriously affect your sleep. If you don't sleep well, hunger hormones in the body will rise, and your appetite will increase, which will lead to weight gain, which will run counter to the purpose of using a belly band to lose weight after childbirth.

2. Wearing a belly band at night can easily cause the belly band to be used for too long.

When you wear a belly band at night, you usually wear it all night, because you can't get up in the middle of the night to take it off. Therefore, it is easy to use the belly band for too long. You should know that the total use time of the belly band should not exceed eight hours a day, and it is best to take it off every two hours to relax, otherwise it will seriously affect blood circulation.

How long it takes for a postpartum mother to lose weight depends on the method of delivery she adopts. For mothers who give birth naturally, slimming treatment is generally carried out for one month, while for mothers who give birth by caesarean section, they have to wait until the abdominal wound is completely healed before starting abdominal slimming treatment, which is generally 2-3 months after delivery.

Even if you use the belly band during the day, you should pay attention to the time and never wear it for too long at a time. Long-term use of the belly band not only affects the body's blood circulation, restricts the activity of the waist, abdomen, and back muscles, but is also not conducive to the recovery of the body after childbirth. At the same time, using the belly band for too long will compress the gastric cavity and intestines, affecting the digestive and absorption functions, thereby affecting milk secretion, resulting in a decrease in milk or a decrease in milk quality, which is extremely detrimental to breastfeeding.
