All Natural Peri-Care Support
Warm herbal-infused bath’s have been a midwife's favorite to provide comfort after birth. The warmth from the water and healing properties of the herbs help to calm emotions, hydrate skin, promote feelings of love and safety, and aid in recovery. For a bonding moment, you can have a helper bring your baby into the tub to join you for a few minutes, then take baby out and continue to soak as long as you like. Containing herbs traditionally used for perineal discomfort, The First Bath has zero chemicals, artificial preservatives, dyes, or fragrances. Most commonly used in the tub, The First Bath can also be added to a sitz bath bowl or used to make herbal infused padsicles for all day cooling relief.
