    I gave birth in Japan and they have a completely different way of doing things. After birth they clamp and cut the cord. They also cut and give you an extra piece in a box to keep as a symbol of connection that you had with your baby when you were pregnant. Also, in Japan they said there was no problem to have a bath and submerge the cord. They actually gave him his first bath at the hospital and did this to my shock! But that’s the custom here. His umbilical cord ended up falling off in the bath about two weeks later. It’s so interesting seeing the differences in health recommendations between different countries.

      In south africa it's the same. They bath the baby in full water everyday whilst in hospital and advise you to do same. They also clamp the cord but don't give you a piece. They also advise you to clean with surgical spirits. I done all this with my kids but now with my grandchild I've been watching videos to remind me what to do. I'm so confused lol

    My baby's cord fell off after theee days, and I didn't have to use medication. It was 10cm and in the beggining we had to take care not to get it dirty with anything. We did a late clamping and I feel this made it dry much faster. Also what we did was staying as much as we could without clothes, so a lot of air was there. I didn't bath her, only with a cloth and warm dandelion tea 💕it's great for any iritations, it calms the skin the best. No oils, no soaps for us in the first weeks of life

    My baby's umbilical cord fell off after three days.. Because here in South Africa we bath a bby after it is born. N we submerge them in water and clean it with surgical spirit and a cotton wool. By doing its fall off so quickly.

      I'm from South Africa Cape town and I have never heard or seen any woman that I know who submerged their newborn in water and cleaned it like that 🙁 the baby should not go under any water until 2 or maybe 3 weeks you only suppose to wipe the baby with a warm wash cloth and clean the umbilical cord with the surgical spirits after the 1st week and a half you can lighty wash baby with water and Bennett aquas cream but you don't submerge the baby their skin is still very fragile and the umbilical cord is still raw and can get infected

    Hi I gave birth in Costa Rica, I was all prepared for a home birth but it didn’t go as expected. We birthed in the hospital and they cut the cord very close it didn’t even have a peg, like I would have expected to see? It seems ok 👌 has a little smell is this normal?

    It isn’t easy to take care of a newborn baby’s umbilical cord these days. It becomes a bellybutton after his/her umbilical cord is cut and falls off in 1-3 weeks after birth. Please note that I’m not pregnant with triplets at the moment.
