Postpartum soak?

Question

I bought some epsom salt for pp soaking but how should I do it? Just fill the tub up a little and put the salt in? Is it safe ? I’m 8 days pp now and still sore so I’m hoping this will help

Answer

I did sitz baths and this helped with healing tremendously. Fill your tub with just a few inches of warm water (with epsom salt) and soak for 5-10 minutes. I tried to do it 2-3 times per day and it helped a lot! Also was nice to just have a few minutes alone in the chaos of being a new mom!

Answer

No bath, your cervix is open and you risk infection

Answer

My dr said no bath until cleared at check up maybe worried about infection

Answer

Make sure the water isn’t too hot. But yes you have the general idea, make sure the tub is clean as well!
