Newborn umbilical cord care tips! It used to be recommended to use rubbing alcohol on the cord stump, but this is outdated info. Keep the area clean and dry, and fold the diaper down so it doesn’t pull on the cord. Call your pediatrician for redness, swelling, oozing, pain or if the cord hasn’t come off by 4 weeks after birth. #newborn #newborntips #babytips #newmom #newmomsoftiktok #babycare #umbilicalcord #babyeducation
