Data were analyzed using chi-square and independent t-test with a signifi cance level of α≤0.05. Results: There was no difference in the incidence of omphalitis in the use of topical breastmilk model compared to open dry treatment (p=0.33). However, there are signifi cant differences in the average of cord separation time between topical breastmilk model and open dry treatment (p=0.020).
