    I was told to wait till umbilical cord stump fell off. Nothing about the circ.

    I was told to spongebath until 10 days after his circ. We saw the pedi that day for a weight check and she gave us the go ahead to bathe him.

    We just had to wait for the belly button thing to fall off, and then it was okay!

    You have to wait until the belly button stump falls off which should be after the circ is healed. We gave him his first bath at 12 days old.
