This remarkable organ that kept him nourished throughout pregnancy has a bit of an ick factor outside the womb when you’re waiting for it to dry and fall off, which usually takes one to two weeks. At each diaper change, gently wipe the tummy area clean with warm water, allowing the cord itself to stay dry. Avoid tucking it inside the diaper. If you notice any smell, redness, swelling, puss, or if your baby seems feverish or irritable, contact your healthcare provider.

During a bath, it’s OK if the cord gets a little wet as long as you allow it to air-dry afterward and be mindful not to knock or hit the sensitive area by accident.
