Welcome Back & Postpartum Bath

July 8th. Hannia meets her abuelita. She says she looks just like a Lomeli (Iajia's mom's side)! 

July 8th. Noori with his tios & primos.

July 9th. I finally get my postpartum bath. First, the herbs are boiled. Some of the herbs included are ruda (rue), manzanilla (chamomile), romero (rosemary), hoja de santa maria,  pirul, eucalipyo, & a lot more. Then. draw a bath of hot water and then add the near boiling hot water from the herbs (strain the herbs). Then, hop in naked, or whatever you are comfortable with. Put a stool or something you can sit on in the bath- this is just for if the water is too hot for you to sit in, slowly you can slip into the water as is comfortable. Then you'll be covered with a light cotton sheet. And just relax and soak in the heat. This should be done at night or whenever you plan on not going out for the rest of the day. The reasoning behind the bath is that mother and baby go from being hot during pregnancy to cold afterwards. This sudden change can cause health problems later on. The bath is also said to aid in milk production for nursing mothers.
