Shower

May I ask how do you take care of newborn's umbilical cord during bath time. Can umbilical cord touch water during bath time? How to clean it? Also, after the umbilical cord drops, how do you take care of the wound?

We towel clean our girl (no bath) before her umbilical cord drop. Used room temp (boiled water) to clean her cord area with cotton wool. After the umbilical cord dropped, we put her in a bath tub & bath her like normal. Just make sure we dry the cord area each time after bath.
