the umbilical cord and clamp does not
hurt the baby
you want to make sure to keep it clean
and dry and you can get it wet when you
do the tub bathing
the clamp and cord fall off together in
about 10 to 14 days after the baby's
born
if you notice a little bit of dark red
blood or
slight redness around the base of the
cord you can clean it by moistening a
q-tip with warm running tap water
and then drying it again with the dry
q-tip
signs that your baby's umbilical cord
may be infected or your baby develops a
fever
or there's a bad smell coming from the
cord
if you have concerns call your health
care provider
