How long will my baby have an umbilical stump?

Usually for a week or so. A baby’s umbilical cord will gradually drop off within a week. In the meantime, keep it clean and dry at all times. Simply dampen a cotton wool or bud with cooled boiled water to clean the cord. Clean in an upwards motion from the base and changing to a new clean piece after each bath or when it is wet.

It usually will takes about a week or so to completely dry off and it will fall off on its own. Please do not pull if off as you might cause an infection. Also, it's important to note that it's best to only use boiled warm water (the nurses will emphasize on it) and not soapy water.
