Can I use things for body shaping 5 days after painless childbirth?

Patient's question:

Can a belly band be used 5 days after painless childbirth? How many days without a bowel movement in a newborn is considered normal? Should I still breastfeed if my nipple is cracked and bleeding?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you clarify. According to your purchase situation, you can use the abdominal band 5 days after an epidural for childbirth. Based on your purchase situation, since the newborn hasn't had a bowel movement for a few days, it is recommended to take the newborn to the pediatric department of a local regular hospital for a thorough examination. If the nipple is cracked and bleeding, you can use a breast pump to extract the milk. When patients face the risks of an epidural for childbirth, we should actively take rescue measures and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If the condition does not improve after treatment with an epidural, it is necessary to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
