What is a Sitz Bath?

A sitz bath is a shallow bath with enough water to cover your hip bones. It is easier and safer than a full bath in the early days after birth. It is safe as early as one hour after birth.

Sitz baths are highly recommended if you have perineal - by your vagina - soreness, if you had a tear or an episiotomy.

However, all new moms will benefit from a nice warm bath with beneficial herbs, essential oils, flower essences, homeopathic remedies or a combination of those various therapies.
