Question about 9 week old baths?
My 9 week old does not like baths so I one day got in the tub with her and she stopped screaming and crying. So I now take a bath with my baby girl. If she were to poop or pee in the tub while I'm in there with her can that cause me a yeast infection or any kinda infection since it isn't my own pee or poo? It just dawned on me if it could harm my privates. She hasn't done it so far but just incase.

Lots of people take baths with their babies and young children: don't listen to those who say its not proper. Pee is not a problem, so don't worry about that: its sterile in people who don't have an active urinary tract infection, which is not all that common. Regarding poop, this could happen, yes, but you'd know about it pretty quickly and could just get out before anything had a chance to happen! But even even if you didn't just jump up as soon as you saw it, it wouldn't be much of a risk - especially if you washed yourself well, right after taking the child out and making sure he or she was safe. I wouldn't worry about it at all.

No it should be totally fine. I take a bath with my 6 month old, she pooped once while we were in together I just washed her really well and then washed my self too. She probably does pee you just dont notice it.

Urine won't pose a risk, so don't worry about that type of waste. However, vaginosis or urinary tract infections could happen with feces that plopped inside your exposed vagina or urethra. Are you an adult film star? If not, I wouldn't worry about it too much because an infection of this type would really only slow you down if you made money through performing the act of coitus.
