A member asked:
Is soaking in a epsom salt bath safe for breastfeeding moms? and how often a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem: EPSOM or Sitz baths can be very relaxing and helpful to breastfeeding mothers, and pose no risk for breastfeeding. Excessive bathing however (more than once a day) may lead to skin dryness.
