Excellent Question!

Getting a massage therapist that does pregnancy massage. They could show you how or give you the advice you are seeking. You could get a massage from them and they could show you. I would call around to your local massage therapists and ask if they could help you with you learn how to do so.

Good Luck!
You should for sure massage your belly after birth if you had a C-section you should wait for six weeks but if you’ve had vaginal birth, it’s definitely recommend it a few days. I can start massaging the area and help with any scar tissue.
