shower newborn

I still bathe my newborn. He started bathing on day 4, and prior to that i just used cotton wool dipped in warm water to clean his entire body. He was immersed in his tub during his bath so i will gently pat and dry the area. Its impt to clean it and dry it off thereafter to avoid infection.

Yep. I do. But must ensure u dap it dry...Its generally safe. Even kkh tutorial on bathing newborn included hw to tc of the cord area while bathing. U cn try search.
