umbilical cord question!

[kthomp14]

So I just read something that said you can't dress your baby in onesies until the cord falls off. Is this true? Because I only have newborn onesies. What other restrictions are there? I know you aren't supposed to get them wet, but anything else?

They put my baby in a onsie at the hospital its perfectly fine to do that

[kthomp14]

Okay thanks ladies. I was worried I couldn't dress him in the cute onesies I have!

[AubsMomma472014]

I always put my daughter  in a onesie.  Didn't bother it.

Our daughter wore onesies and it was fine. If you're really concerned you can put a bandaid over it to keep it from moving.

I always wore onesies and it was fine. Different doctors have different opinions though im sure.

I noticed that with my first his diaper was actually tall enough to cover the cord so the onsies were fine. The only rule I know of regarding the cord is they can only have sponge baths until the nub falls off

[Sareney_beany12]

I put my baby is onsies and it was fine. I wouldn't put them on if they are super tight though.

You could just dress then in sleepers...they fit more loosely.

I've always dresses my kids in onesis and they was fine. I've not heard this before you might call the dr your gonna use and talk with thw nurse. My youngest is 4 things could have changed

I heard something like that bc apparently the clothes will rub against it and can pull it off. what i always done was wrap a bandana around the baby to cover the umbilical cord to prevent rubbbing.
