Umbilical Cord

Baby is is 9 days old. Umbilical cord still intact but seeing some brownish spots on diaper. Is this sign of infection? What should i do? During discharge, hospital informed to not apply anything. No need to sanitise/clean. Just keep it dry and let it fall off in it's own. Confinement nanny suggested to buy alcohol wipe. Can we use that?

My baby is 12 days old now. The cord became sticky like this. Anyone have the same issue?

alcohol wipe can use it’s just another method to clean. it’s probably just old blood
