you can put the witch hazel on your pad with the tucks, change your underwear often and keep it clean! also sitting or laying on a towel with no underwear for an hour or so a day helped me, so the area can breathe. don’t push yourself spend as much time resting as you can, get in lots of baby snuggles ❤️ prioritize protein and warm food in your diet, soups and broths are great congratulations on your baby :)
@Izzie thank you
Take some comfortable underwear panties, lay a pad on and then spray the witch hazel foam on top of it xx If you didn’t have any tears in not sure you would need it but that’s how you do it xx Also make sure you eat enough and try keeping it healthy 🩷 You need good sleep too, which I know with a newborn is not an option but try to rest whenever you can! X Nap when the baby is napping too 🩷 You need all the strength to look after the baby. Continue to eat your prenatal vitamins too if you have them x Just focus on yourself and the baby, eat healthy and eat enough , pamper yourself with nice showers or baths when you can too and it will make a whole difference 🥰xx Congratulations by the way ❤️ Wishing all the best for you xx If you have any specific questions regards to anything at all feel free to message me 🥰
