When to go back to normal

Hey everyone,

I had my baby naturally 15 days ago. Had a 2nd degree tear and stitches.

Midwife said I couldn't bath and wash my hair in the bath. I'm guessing due to the products in the water. When can I start to bath normally and wash hair in the bath? (I've been showering daily to wash hair and body, then having a bath to relax)

Also, when can I stop using maternity pads? Can I start using normal sanitary towels now?

Thanks 😊
