If your baby’s umbilical cord stump has fallen off, you can now offer full-body baths. Fill your baby’s bathtub with a few inches of warm water. Double-check that you have everything you need within arm’s reach. Gently wash your baby’s body from head to toe and between the skin folds using a small amount of soap on a washcloth. If they seem uncomfortable, you can use another washcloth to place over their belly for added warmth.
