when to start belly binding after birth - #25112

I am really confused about when to start belly binding after birth. I had my little one about a month ago, and I’ve been hearing mixed things from friends and family. Some say I should have started belly binding right away, like within a few days after giving birth, while others mention waiting until my body feels ready. I felt so swollen and uncomfortable right after the delivery, and I honestly couldn’t even think about anything other than caring for my newborn. Now, I’m starting to feel like it might be the right time for belly binding but not sure if it’s too late already. I know it’s supposed to help support my core and get things back on track, but what if, like, I missed the window? I’ve heard some women start belly binding after a week, some way earlier than that. Is there a specific guideline for when to start belly binding after birth? Is it different for C-sections than for vaginal births? Any help would be sooo appreciated, I just want to feel normal again!
