Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
As the stitches have been removed extra dressing is needed only for 4-5 days. You can apply a moisturiser or a local antiseptic cream also in case the stitch line is dry.
Avoid putting too much water in the area during a bath. She can have a bath normally after a week.
She can have tablets and proper calcium supplements to increase the milk production.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
