Ay first time mom ka rin, congrats! Honestly, I'd really suggest asking your OB or pediatrician about the exact process kasi they can show you properly, lalo na kung may specific instructions based sa hospital ninyo, pero from what the midwife told me, you keep it clean and dry lang talaga, at most moms I know use either alcohol or betadine (your doc will say which one), gently dab it a few times a day until the cord falls off, which usually takes 1-2 weeks. The key talaga is just keeping it dry and not picking at it, kahit matanong mo lang din kung may special cord care kit na kailangan. You got this, mama!
