whats the cream that you can put on, erm down below, after the birth?

[mumofdjandbabies]

want to buy some in ha ha!!

Do you mean Arnica?

My midwife told me to put lavander oil in the bath which was v soothing.

Do you mean arnica for the bruising?

I dont know I have heard people talk about soothing vream they slapped on after the birth and I thought I should buy some!!
can you out arnica own below????

Arnica tablets I think are better.
You cant put the cream on broken skin, so no good if you have stitches!

ah dunno what cream it was then teehee

are arnica tablets good oh and are they ok with breastfeeding?

ah got you now thanks !

so witchhazel liquid and arnica caps

I was told to have luke warm baths with salt in as it's a natural healer, afaird i was a bit wont that sting.

Which i have to say it did the frist time although im not sure if that was because of the salt or not, but after that i found salt baths were very soothing.

ooh right
I had forgotten that they do say salt baths are fab...

I swore by arnica tablets - took them before birth to help with pain, and after birth as well. felt wonderful (if a little saggy)

I would second witchhazel kept in the fridge. Very soothing.
