Abstract
Infection of the umbilical cord has been the cause of illness and death constantly in different countries. Each year 500,000 infants die from neonatal tetanus and 460,000 infants die from bacterial infections. One way that is currently being developed is the use breast milk. Various kinds of content of nutrients and substances that exist in breast milk may reduce the risk of incidence of the infection so that the baby can avoid the incidence of umbilical cord infection. This type of research is quasy experiments with static group comparison. The research data are obtained by researchers using observation sheet, then the data are tabulated. Results of the observation of the time required in the treatment of breast milk and umbilical cord using dry Sterile gauze then compare and conclusions draw an average release time of each media. From the results, the average time of the release of the umbilical cord using breast milk is for 127.41 hours and the average time of the release of the umbilical cord using dry Sterile gauze is for 157.38 hours. From the results of correlation Mann Whitney test with significance level α = 0.05 is obtained significance value (p) of 0.00. It takes a more active research and in a greater scope to conduct more studies in the use of breast milk to use for umbilicard cord of the baby. That requires the active participation of various stakeholders to provide support in implementing it.

One medium that is often used by health professionals in the care of the umbilical cord is to use dry Sterile gauze. The media are often used as treatments using umbilical cord dry Sterile gauze proven effective for use in the treatment of the umbilical cord. Average time release of the umbilical cord using a dry Sterile gauze is 154 hours 10 minutes [3]. Most of the people in Indonesia tend to use alcohol as a medium for umbilical cord care. Results of research conducted by Sumaryani [5] show the average time the release of the cord treated with ASI takes 5:32 today, open dry Sterile gauze of 6.65 days and 6.87 days 70% alcohol
