Gave birth to DD 12 days ago and, as advised by the midwifes, have been showering or bathing daily to keep the area clean. I had an episiotomy, stitches checked by midwife today at our check up and they’re healing well. However she’s now discharged us out to the HV & GP and I completely forgot to ask when it’s ok to use bubble bath? At the moment when I bathe I’ve been either doing it in plain water or lavender oil but I’m dreaming of a proper bubble bath and DH has promised me baby free time for a soak when I feel ready! Would just be Radox or something, nothing too full on...
Have googled but there’s a lot of conflicting advice, does anyone happen to know? While they’re healing well, stitches obviously haven’t dissolved and I still have lochia (although I wouldn’t avoid a bubble bath if I had my period so I guess that’s less of an issue maybe?)
