Anyone else's infant umbilical cord stump stinks? Can't wait for it to fall off

Put some alcohol on a qtip and gently wipe around it. It Will dry it up faster.

@girlmom. Ok thanks

Actually they say to avoid putting alcohol on it. The pedi says to keep it dry and wait until it falls off on its own, to not mess with it.

@serrano_girl well I did it with all 3 of girls per their pedi.

None of my kids it stunk i washed around it and used a q tip to remove the yuck

But they stopped putting alcohol before i gave birth to my oldest who is 9

So contact your dr before you do that

I did alcohol and qtip with both my boys as well who are 9 and 7 and plan to with this one too.

@girlmom. @nbentley88 I did alcohol on my son's but pedi did say no alcohol. It's almost off though

@serrano_girl everyone's pedi is different.
