Umbilical cord ties are a gentle alternative that can be used instead of or along with the usual plastic clip.
Crocheted from light-weight organic cotton thread measuring 25cm in length plus embellishment.
How to Use
Wait until your baby’s cord has stopped pulsing and is flat and white.
Wrap the tail of the cord around your baby’s cord twice, ensuring it is tight.
Double knot to secure it in place.
Note: While it is not necessary to sterilise this tie you might like to boil it in water and place into a sterile breastmilk bag (or similar) and store in the freezer until the day of your baby’s birth.
