My midwife gave me a " cord care " dusting powder that was made up simply

of goldenseal root powder and oregon grape root powder .. it seemed to

work very well.

 

I hope you have a quick and easy labor there mama! :)

Cord Care

 

 

What all would/do you do for the care of the " stump " after baby is born?

 

I'm just wondering if there's something herbal that can help it dry up

quicker because my babies' cords have taken a long time to fall off.

Erin,

You are doing much better than me. I'm never patiently waiting even a month

before. My oldest was 3 days late and I was like " GET HIM OUT OF ME!!!! "

LOL. So you are doing great!!

 

About the chord. We were always told to use a q-tip dipped in rubbing

alcohol and rub the stump (NOT the baby's skin) and that would dry it out

really fast.

That's what I've always done too, but my babies' stumps seem to linger

for a rather long time (compared to my friends' babies anyway) so I was

hoping to try something else this time and help it dry faster.

All 3 of my other kids were born at home, but this time the midwife we

have can't do home birth so we'll be in a birthing center.

Echinacea tincture will dry it up fast and prevent infection...

I agree, rubbing alcohol works great. I used it on all three of my children,It

will come off after a short time. Just be careful though,My second to the

youngest thought it was a raisin when her little sisters fell off. I caught her

just in time before she made a meal out of it. I was glad to be there to take it

away from her. ......Those were the good old days---Mia Starr

hiya mama! who knew i would find you here!

well, as you know i have four, and as you may not know, my fourth was

a planned unassisted homebirth. i recommend using nothing at all.

my others, i used alcohol, and it took up to two weeks. kyre's fell

off on the 4th day postpartum!

if it's really hanging around and you're worried about infection, the

only thing i would recommend is goldenseal powder.

just my two cents!

 

blessings,

chauna
