Is it necessary to use a navel sticker for a two-month-old baby swimming?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

As long as your baby's umbilical cord heals, there's nothing to worry about; you don't need to cover it. It's just like taking a bath—of course, you should take precautions to keep the wound dry. If it has healed, there's no problem. Swimming is essentially the same as soaking in water—just moving your hands and feet, which shouldn't be an issue.
