Why should a new mother use the Belly Bandit®? Abdominal compression wraps provide additional back support and expedite the rate at which the abdomen returns to its pre pregnancy state. How does the Belly Bandit® work? It compresses the portion of the body it’s wrapped around, forcing the lower back to straighten and taking tension off this area. By constricting the abdomen, the Belly Bandit® provides better support and more confidence for the new mom recovering from her obstetrical experience. How quickly after birth can you use the Belly Bandit®? The Belly Bandit® can be worn within 24 hours of delivery. Can I use the Belly Bandit® after a c section? Absolutely. Wearing an abdominal compression wrap after a c section may actually decrease the post op recovery time by minimizing associated incision pain, which allows greater mobility post surgery. Of course, consult with your physician before you do so. Who do you recommend the Belly Bandit® for? I recommend the Belly Bandit® to any patient in the postpartum period, whether recovering from a vaginal delivery or a c section. How long would you suggest that a patient use the Belly Bandit®? Everybody’s different. 4-6 weeks after delivery seems sensible. When can you wear the Belly Bandit®? The Belly Bandit® can be worn all day long, and even while you sleep. It’s most important that you feel comfortable while wearing the Belly Bandit®, but there are no restrictions as to how long throughout the day it can be worn. It’s not meant to be worn in water and therefore should be removed for baths and showers. Does the Belly Bandit® take the place of diet & exercise? Absolutely not. In fact, I would hope it would make new mothers more aware of their bodies and encourage them to eat a well-balanced, healthy diet, and exercise on a regular basis. Why are you on board? I’m on board because I believe the postpartum period is a transition into a new lifestyle that doesn't necessarily focus on the new mom and her well-being. Mothers, more often than not, sacrifice their self care for that of their newborn. The Belly Bandit® encourages better posture, abdominal support, and self confidence. It’s a simple solution new moms can do to take care of themselves as their focus shifts to caring for the new baby in their lives.
