Narrative: SPRUCE MESSAGE VISIT Date: 2026-08-26 Encounter: Spruce text message CC: Parent asking about bathing safety after umbilical cord stump fell off with minor bleeding. HPI: Rowan is a newborn whose umbilical cord stump has recently fallen off. There was a small amount of blood noted on clothing, which has since stopped. Parent is asking whether it is safe to give a submerged bath or whether they should wait for full healing of the stump site. Assessment: Umbilical cord stump has detached with minor bleeding that has resolved; stump site needs to be fully dry before submerged bathing is appropriate. Plan: Dr. Hobbs advised no submerged bath until the stump is completely dry. No further workup or follow-up indicated. Key clinical quotes: "No submerged bath until the stump is dry" Source: Spruce conversation t_26V1GBOSL3O00
