Method; The type of research used was "Pre-Experiment" and research design/"static group comparison group". The sampling technique in this study is Accidental Sampling. The number of samples in this study were 30 respondents..Results; Bivariate analysis found that there was an effect of umbilical cord care using topical breast milk and dry gauze on the time of cord extraction, with a value of p = 0.000 <0.05, then Ho was rejected, and when viewed from the t value it was 4.430 while the t table was -2.000 so it was 4.430 > 2,000 (t count > t table) thus Ho is rejected, meaning that there is a significant effect between cord care using topical ASI and dry gauze methods with the time the umbilical cord was removed. Conclusion; There was an effect of umbilical cord care using topical breastfeeding and dry gauze on the time of post-neonatal cord extraction at Delima General Hospital in Medan in 2018.
