Baths!
How long after birth did you guys wait to have your first bath? (Obviously have had showers but missing having baths 😅)
I had a natural delivery with no tears, stitches, grazes etc and no one has told me I can't have a bath tried to get an answer on Google and that suggests like 6 weeks due to infections? Is this right or can I have one now I'm 1 week since having my little girl :)

I was the same as you and had a bath after a few days but didn't use bubble bath
i waited until my stitches had healed, think was about a month after
I had first bath almost straight after delivery in the hospital
After 48 hours I had a salt bath and had one everyday until I was healed, I wouldn’t recommend anything soapy for it if you have one that close after birth x
I have stitches and was advised to wait until they had fully healed because a bath softens them too much (showers are fine)
