Should I wear a belly band when sleeping at night?

For postpartum women, the part that is most likely to get out of shape is the belly. During pregnancy, a woman's belly will swell rapidly, and then shrink rapidly after giving birth, which makes it easy for her to have excess fat on her belly. At this time, you need to use a belly belt to promote the disappearance of the hottest part of the belly. Belly belts really have a certain effect on the recovery of postpartum women's figure. But do you need to use a belly belt when you sleep at night?

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.

I believe that after reading this article, all female friends will know whether the postpartum belly belt should be tied when sleeping at night. In fact, not only should we not wear a belly band when sleeping at night, we should not use it excessively in normal times, otherwise it will have a greater impact on our physical health.
