Postpartum belly binding traditions from around the world
​Wrapping or binding the belly during  postpartum is an ancient tradition found in almost every part of the world and in many different cultures. 
A few examples of traditional belly wrapping are:
​
Navajo - a traditional sash belt, wrapped tightly around the abdomen. Warmed cedar branches were placed inside the sash belt to help keep the uterus warm.

India - Traditional Indian postpartum practices include "tying" the new mothers abdomen with a cotton cloth, scarf or sari. 

Malaysia -    Belly binding is one of the 6 cornerstones in Malay postpartum confinement. It is called  barut, (a tight wrap around the  waist.) Binding the tummy is called berbengkong (twisted wrap) and helps to regain the woman’s figure.

Greece - Traditional Greek postpartum care included the wrapping of the abdomen from pubic one to just under the breasts. A cotton or linen cloth was used. Rose petals or powdered spices were applied to the lower abdominal area, just over the womb before wrapping. 

Mexico - During the "Caurentena" ( 40 day postpartum confinement) the new other uses a "faja" ( a sash belt) to wrap her abdomen.
