It is important to keep the stump of the umbilical cord clean and dry. If the stump appears dirty it should be washed with plain water. After cleaning, place a clean cloth around the stump and fan it dry with a piece of paper. Fold the front of the baby's diaper down to expose the stump of the cord to the air. This will help the cord dry out naturally. Give the baby sponge baths until the cord does fall off. Do not pull the stump off even if it is hanging by just a thread or two. It is best to let it fall of naturally.
