Keep umbilical cord stump clean and dry. Apply Neosporin powder 3 times a day. If redness and pus discharge continues, or fever appears consult pediatrician.

If discharge is watery with reddish mass over umbilicus, or fecal or urinary discharge, consult Pediatric Surgeon. Your baby may require surgery.
