Peri Bottles: frequently asked questions

Do I need a fancy peri bottle?: The hospital gives you one. An angled or upside-down bottle, like the Frida Mom, is easier to aim, especially in the first painful days. Both work.
How long will I use it?: Most parents use one for the first one to two weeks. Longer if there were stitches or a tear; until going to the bathroom stops feeling like a chore.
