Get a clean cotton bud (better if it's the small one). Soak the tip in alcohol (70% and without moisturizer. Lift the umbilical cord and gently clean the inside. Do this 1-2 times a day. The alcohol will help it dry faster. Do not be too rough in cleaning so as not to hurt baby. Stop at any sign of discomfort.
