how long after the umbilical cord thingy fall off can I give my baby a bath ????

yeah my daughters fell off after a week but was still open its gradually getting smaller and closing id say by her third week (Wednesday) she will be all healed.

okay , cause that's what I was wondering will the inside be done healing or whatever. thanks @kandl

I know , I've been giving sponge baths. but from the looks of it, it will fall off by the morning . thanks @henrysmommy

when its fallen off and its all the way closed.

You can give sponge baths before it falls off. Once it does, regular baths are okay!
