How is a woman’s swaddling?
The woman who gaves birth to the baby is busy for the first day, and the first three days are passing in anticipation of a rush of milk, therefore it is best to start postpartum swaddling after moving from the hospital home, that is, somewhere on 4-5 days.
A woman needs to prepare the most warm bath and make a warm spicy or herbal drink to effectively warm up all the deep -haired fabrics. When all the muscles are relaxed and warm enough, you can proceed to the massage procedure. Massage contributes to even greater relaxation, improvement of metabolism, lymphatic drainage, blood flow, internal organs take their usual position, as before pregnancy, the uterus is reduced, the stomach leaves. After relaxation procedures, which to enhance the effect is best carried out using essential oils, infusion of herbs, creams, masks, a swaddling itself is carried out: eight women of the woman’s body are tightened with a long towel:
- feet;
- head;
- stomach;
- shoulders;
- pelvis;
- hips;
- rib cage;
- shin.
It is good if, after such a tightening, a woman can fall asleep and spend at least 4 hours in this condition. If it is necessary to feed the baby, this can be done at any time, since postpartum swaddling is carried out in the presence of a newborn so that both feel proximity, you just need to serve the mother of the child for feeding. The procedure for such a wrap lasts up to 8 hours, although it is possible less.
