EP 22: How Should I Care For My Baby's Umbilical Cord? Do's and Don'ts
The Do's and Don'ts of umbilical cord care.
I’m going to let you in on a little secret — less is more...especially when we're talking about how to care for your sweet baby's umbilical cord.
Shortly after you give birth, your baby's umbilical cord is snipped, leaving behind a small stump that will fall off within a few weeks.
Before you're ready to leave the hospital with your newborn, it's important to know how to care for the umbilical cord stump. Your doctor or nurse will likely briefly go over basic tips, but you may feel so overwhelmed with information that you find yourself unclear on how to deal with the belly button area once you get home.
And that’s why I wanted to record this episode for you. In it, I share The DO's and DON'TS for umbilical cord care.
This is a quick listen so press play and enjoy!
As always, thank you so much for tuning in to this episode.
