this is a tip I would not be without - my midwife suggested it. If you are sore after birth (down there) or if you have stitches bath regularly obviously but add three/four drops of tea tree oil and three-four drops lavender oil to a shallow bath. My initial thoughts were that this would not work but I was so impressed - it really helps. I personally like using more than three-four drops and for really sore days I would put the drops on a rolled up flannel in the bath and sit on it. I am not sure if the same applies for post c-section stitches so would not recommend.
