So my daughters pediatrician said to not bathe her till' her umbilical cord falls off, is this…

Every doctor here, I believe, advises no baths until it falls off. You want to keep it dry to avoid infection

You can sponge bathe but don't submerge the baby

I was told I can bathe baby but not to get it wet.

every one i know and doctor ive known and ppl who have had babie have been told not to, as stated u can sponge bathe them but not get the umbilical cord wet......i wouldnt

You give them sponge baths your not suppose to submerge the umbilical cord with water. Once it falls off your in the clear to give your baby a regular bath in a tub.

sponge baths are fine first week or so, after you can use just water. no scented soap etc. dont scrub just like a rinse is fine. i bathed him after a week.

I bathed my son two wks after while he had it he was fine still
