when can I sit in the tub

Question

When can I take a bath? 
How many weeks PP? I want to sit in the warm tub with my baby! She has already lost her cord stump! I had a vaginal birth and a #2 tear.

Answer

You can take as soon as you want. Just don't add any bubble bath to it while your still healing. Plain water and you and your baby are good to go. Just remember that their skin is sensitive so what's warm to you might be hot for them.

Answer

I took a bath every night for 2+ weeks after she was born. Warm bath helps with healing down there! I had a second degree tear. No soaps or anything just warm water. It was so nice and relaxing.

Answer

They had me take a bath right after birth at the hospital, and I have been taking one everyday since.

Answer

Right away! It will help you heal down there

Answer

I was told I couldn't have baths until I had doctors approval on my 6 week pp. 😩

Answer

The nurse ran me a bath an hour after the birth so I took a bath while they weighed the baby and such. I could obviously have done it earlier only of course I was busy cuddling the baby and nursing.
