Question
A woman after childbirth. Normal and healthy delivery, thank God. How long afterwards is it recommended not to immerse for purification from a halachic, medical, and marital perspective? Of course, after proper purification according to the law.
Answer
Shalom and Mazel Tov
One should not immerse before 5-6 weeks after childbirth.
This is due to both the woman's recovery and the concern of bleeding due to intimacy, which is common shortly after childbirth.
