👉The umbilical cord stump is what's left after the umbilical cord is cut after birth. ⁠
⁠
⁠👉It will change color from a yellowish to a darker brown or black as it dries. ⁠
⁠
⁠👉It becomes crusty and hard. ⁠
⁠
Cord care is super easy: ⁠
⁠
✨Keep it dry⁠
✨Keep diapers and clothing from rubbing on it⁠
✨Give sponge baths until it comes off⁠
