Raistlin peed on his umbilical cord :\

pawgio

I was just changing him and lifted his legs and he started peeing, I had him covered with a wipe since he always pees when I change him, but it still got all up his belly and on the last little piece of his cord. What am I supposed to do? Pee is sterile so I don't think it will get infected.. I wiped it off with cotton, but should I clean it with alcohol or anything else?

I would clean with alcohol and it should be fine

@mommyfor3 thank you

Yep. When I took my son in for his first checkup my doc said "looks like he's getting a lil pee on his cord" I had no idea and don't know how he could tell. He wasn't concerned but said to fold in the top of his diaper to help keep it from happening

Brody did that a lot. I cleaned it with alcohol just to dry it up again

I freaked out, when my daughter was a week old, she had this massive poop and it got all over, including in her umbilical cord! I washed it off with warm soapy water and then swabbed it with alcohol, and it turned out fine. She lost her cord a day before she turned 2 weeks. Pee is more sterile than that, so I'm sure he'll be ok!

My sons an odd ball by the fact that he almost never pees in a diaper change or with out a diaper on but when he did it at the drs office they told me to just leave it to dry and it wouldn't get infected

Don't use alcohol one the cord at all

Dr told me to clean Damien's cord with alcohol every time I change him so I don't think it would hurt to do so after he's peed on himself
