Bathing new borns

First two weeks I only do wipe downs.. Then I will clean the area with alcohol wipes as instructed by the nurses. Fell off on the 5th day 😂 But if you’re intending to bath baby, maybe just keep the area dry and clean till it falls off.

Yeah don’t need to bathe newborns especially when their cord stump is still intact. Just wipe the baby down thoroughly to prevent bacteria building up. Once the stump falls off, can bathe baby with warm water.
