A member asked:
I've been diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis. i've taken baths with my daughter. could she get it from me from the bathwater or taking a bath with me?

Unlikely to happen: The labia majora of infants keep the vaginal opening functionally closed during most activities. The chances of her getting anything from you are minimal and any material you drain into the bath water is likely inactive within minutes anyway.
