I gave birth in Japan and they have a completely different way of doing things. After birth they clamp and cut the cord. They also cut and give you an extra piece in a box to keep as a symbol of connection that you had with your baby when you were pregnant. Also, in Japan they said there was no problem to have a bath and submerge the cord. They actually gave him his first bath at the hospital and did this to my shock! But that’s the custom here. His umbilical cord ended up falling off in the bath about two weeks later. It’s so interesting seeing the differences in health recommendations between different countries.
In south africa it's the same. They bath the baby in full water everyday whilst in hospital and advise you to do same. They also clamp the cord but don't give you a piece. They also advise you to clean with surgical spirits. I done all this with my kids but now with my grandchild I've been watching videos to remind me what to do. I'm so confused lol
I’m giving birth in Tokyo in a few weeks… I had no idea! Apparently no baths for me though in the early days of postpartum. Not sure why, since the US seems to recommend sitz baths for episiotomy recovery.
Your videos helps me so much especially now with covid, all of our maternity classes in Ottawa, Ontario is now cancelled... My baby is due in about 7 weeks and your videos has helped me SO MUCH!
My baby's cord fell off after theee days, and I didn't have to use medication. It was 10cm and in the beggining we had to take care not to get it dirty with anything. We did a late clamping and I feel this made it dry much faster. Also what we did was staying as much as we could without clothes, so a lot of air was there. I didn't bath her, only with a cloth and warm dandelion tea 💕it's great for any iritations, it calms the skin the best. No oils, no soaps for us in the first weeks of life
I live in ottawa and my GP cannot taken her as a new patient and there’s no paediatrician for her. I found some blood in her bellybutton, and I don’t know what to do. I have a 2 years old so I cannot do the 7 hour wait at our hospital..I’m glad I found your channel
My baby's umplical stump is still there looking red .he is 3 month now and he do not have the infection sign and symptoms you mentioned .the doctor diagnosed him infection (runing blood test )and gave him a medicine called cephalaxine but no improvement .can u help me with this?
Hello and thank you so much for sharing your passion with all of us. I watched your videos too help prepare for labor & birth. I LOVE the world 🌎 map behind your bed. Would you mind sharing where you got it?? Thank you ❤️
What do you suggest we use to clean it after? My son is 4 months and it is really dark still in his belly button. My mom says hydrogen peroxide but I feel that is too strong??
Hi I gave birth in Costa Rica, I was all prepared for a home birth but it didn’t go as expected. We birthed in the hospital and they cut the cord very close it didn’t even have a peg, like I would have expected to see? It seems ok 👌 has a little smell is this normal?
My baby's umbilical cord fell off after three days.. Because here in South Africa we bath a bby after it is born. N we submerge them in water and clean it with surgical spirit and a cotton wool. By doing its fall off so quickly.
I'm from South Africa Cape town and I have never heard or seen any woman that I know who submerged their newborn in water and cleaned it like that 🙁 the baby should not go under any water until 2 or maybe 3 weeks you only suppose to wipe the baby with a warm wash cloth and clean the umbilical cord with the surgical spirits after the 1st week and a half you can lighty wash baby with water and Bennett aquas cream but you don't submerge the baby their skin is still very fragile and the umbilical cord is still raw and can get infected
@@jaderiley6699 I'm also from SA, I have a friend who gave birth at Medi-Clinic and the nurses bathed the baby before they left the hospital, baby was born 2022. I gave birth at a public hospital and they didn't wash the baby. It depends where you give birth.
I have a newborn her belly button fell of when she was 8 days old i see the doctor she told me i could give her bath now, but its still not close how long it going to take to close cause she’s crying al the time when i press on her belly button she stop crying i really don’t know what to do Any Advice please should i call the doctor?
It isn’t easy to take care of a newborn baby’s umbilical cord these days. It becomes a bellybutton after his/her umbilical cord is cut and falls off in 1-3 weeks after birth. Please note that I’m not pregnant with triplets at the moment.

The US does it incorrectly. Rest of the world has better Healthcare.
I’m Colombian and I hate it because I’m always confused on what I should or shouldn’t do to take care of me after birth and the baby 😭

What are the differences with using umbilical ties or rings versus the clamp as far as aftercare goes?

I've only ever heard to out alcohol on it. To help dry

Very interesting. So then it's OK to submerge in water at 11 days old and dry it thoroughly with alcohol then??

Will submerging the cord in water cause infection?
