You can clean it using the tip of the cotton swab and dip it in warm water. Squeeze out excess water and gently hold the stump with 1 hand and the other hand holding the cotton swab clean it around the navel area. Remember to wash your hand before you do it. It is important to keep the navel area clean and dry to prevent infection before the stump falls off naturally. You can refer to the link below too. http://www.babycenter.com/0_caring-for-your-newborns-umbilical-cord-stump_127.bc http://www.parents.com/baby/care/newborn/how-to-clean-babys-belly-button/
