Umbilical cord care tip! Umbilical core care has changed in the past 10 years or so from using the alcohol pad to clean it, to now we just leave it alone! This has been shown to not increase infection rates but leads to the cord falling off faster! Edit: if the cord is visibly dirty you can clean it but otherwise don’t need to wash or clean it! This can be hard to do with some diapers! So our trick is to fold it down in the front till it falls off! (This can take 7-14days!) Some diapers have a cut out in the front to accommodate the umbilical cord stump, but not all diaper brands! Our current favorite diapers are @hellobello and @coterie Learn more tips in our newborn prep course at the link in our bio!
