Any postpartum moms know how long to wait to have a bath?? Or does it not matter?? I'm a week pp and my entire body…

I did right away!! Get in there and soak! ☺️. I also used Epsom salts. I had at least one bath, sometimes more, everyday for about a month postpartum.

My dr recommends 6 weeks pp to ensure you have healed enough and the risk of infection is minimal by then

@ntrudel11 yea I thought so about the germs and risk of infection

@micmacpaddywhack I dont have a doctor, and my midwife has been slacking, she didn't refresh me on the do's and don'ts after birth which is why I'm looking for a quick answer till I see her next.

Do what the doctor told you to do.

I had a bath 3 days after soak in Epsom salts it will help to alleviate soreness and draw out any impurities. Do not use soap down below for awhile though and rise yourself off good after getting out with a peri bottle

I was told about two weeks by my doctor after I had my little guy. The germs in the tub put you at risk for infections.
