Baby diaper with umbilical cord cutout?
⚡ Short answer: Umbilical cord cutout diapers help prevent rubbing while the cord falls off and let air in, but you can also just fold a regular diaper to get the same result.

Umbilical cord cutout diapers can be handy while the cord is there (usually the first 1–2 weeks). The cutout prevents the diaper from rubbing the cord and lets it get air and dry faster.
If you're using a regular diaper, you can fold the top edge so the cord sits outside and exposed. The important thing is: the diaper shouldn't press or rub the cord.
If you see redness, leaking, or bad smell around the cord area, I'd suggest checking with your pediatrician.
