When the newborn infant still has the cord stump in place, you must perform cord care. This includes carefully inspecting the base of the cord for signs of infection such as redness, drainage, or odor and cleaning it with alcohol. The area is also kept dry and the infant is not bathed in a basin or sink until the cord has fallen off. The cord falls off in the same way a scab falls off a small wound.

This was one of the most intimidating parts of bringin home baby! I had no idea how to care for the cord, before being taught by a wonderful nurse at the hospital, and of course information from my sister and other family members. Thanks for the information!
