First baby bath with circumcision?

Well second, but I was so drugged up after my c section I don't quite remember. What's the best way to go about bathing a boy with a circumcision? I know not to submerge him or anything but when they showed us he wasn't circumcised so didn't have to worry about it

I think about 10 days, and I know just a sponge bath for now but do I spray his penis with the spray bottle they gave us? Or just leave it? And they didn't mention the alcohol just using water on a qtip then using the other end to dry it.

Did they tell u how long it would take to heal? If I remember right a friend told me a week at most but anyways ur not suppose to give him a real  bath tell the umbelicol cord falls off at a week so tell then sponge bath will do idk if they told u but rubbing alcohol on a qtip around the cord base once a day will make sure infection stays out and help the cord fall off. So hope this helps

It was the other where they cut the skin. He's 4 days old, had his first bath after after my c section and I figured it's gotta be getting close to him needing another cleaning
