it can't get wet do you have to sponge bath the baby until I falls off

sponge bathe until it falls off.

I gave my first a bath but not full and I made sure his cord was kept dry.

Most dr's say not to submerge it in water cause it can take much longer for the drying process. Mine had sponge baths until the cord fell off.

Until the cord falls off you have to sponge bathe them

i was told not to submerge in water until it heals. but sponge bath/wipe down was ok
