When can I take a bath after birth?

I've had a few showers but really want to take a bath. How long after giving birth do you think I need to wait? I had a normal delivery and no tears.

So what next?

So my LG has just been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy I’m waiting on more information from the paediatrician, but what happens next? Also I’m not sure if this is a silly question but Is this something that is genetic? Is there chance of future babies having it? It’s been so tough to digest everything.

Any decent floor play mats?

Looking for something for my son to roll about on as we just have wooden floors. Something that can be taken apart and made bigger/smaller depending on where we are in the house. Not too expensive but also not too cheap feeling, if such a thing exists lol. We have a pretty neutral home 😊

Nappies

My little boy has had probably 25 firm stools in is whole life. Is this normal? His nappies mostly resemble diarrhoea. I’m just wondering when this changes to not being normal. He has a very varied healthy diet. What does your little one have?
