I shower my LO daily, using baby shampoo and body wash. It took ard 5 min, don't wanna take long as it can dry out baby's skin. Once the umbilical stump dropped then just wipe with cotton ball (wet it) lightly, if any bleeding or pus have to see doctor. I dont use moisturizing or lotion, i try to avoid putting anything on baby if possible as their skin are very delicate. I use minyak telon and not ruyi oil cos i find ruyi abit too 'hot' for babies. Probably use only when my LO grows older.
