Alcohol for cleaning umbilical cord stump.

Alcohol is no longer recommended for caring for baby's umbilical stumps. It is readily absorbed by babies' skin and can be toxic. Cases of acute alcohol toxicity have been reported after generous applications of alcohol to babies' stumps, especially when they are then covered with a moisture-resistant bandage.
