Should I wear a postpartum belly belt when sleeping at night?

It is best not to sleep with a belly belt at night. Because belly belts are very elastic and tied tightly, they will affect blood circulation if worn normally. The impact will be even greater if worn at night.

Generally speaking, the time for wearing a belly belt should not exceed 8 hours a day. It is best to untie it when you go to bed at night or lie down to rest, and tie it again when you get out of bed and move around.

What are the dangers of excessive use of postpartum belly belts?

Generally speaking, apart from special factors such as the body being allergic to the belly belt, belly belts have no side effects. However, most of the side effects are caused by improper use, one of which is using the belly band for too long. Therefore, do not wear a belly band for too long a day, no more than 8 hours at most, and it is best to untie it when you go to bed or lie down to rest at night.

Long-term use of belly belts not only affects the body's blood circulation and restricts the activity of the waist, abdomen and back muscles, but is also not conducive to the body's recovery after childbirth. At the same time, using a 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 lower milk quality, which is extremely detrimental to breastfeeding.

Postpartum belly bands should not be worn at night when sleeping. In fact, not only should you not wear a belly band when sleeping at night, people should not use it excessively in daily life, otherwise it will have a greater impact on people's physical health.
