My son's came off around the fourth day. But we gave him baths and made sure it was dry after.

As long as it has a clamp on it you can bathe him and just make shore you clean it with an alcohol wipe after you have him all dried off. Thats what the doctors tell us to do in Australia and never had any problems with my sons
