Hello Doctors, We have a few questions regarding the care of our 11-day-old newborn: Scalp: There is some dirt/build-up on his scalp. How should we clean it, and what should we use? Stool and urine: How many times a day is it normal for a newborn to pass stool and urine? Umbilical cord: His umbilical cord has fallen off.
