Cost Composite or plastic decking can be twice as expensive as wooden decking because the materials cost more and the structure tends to be more extensive. Composite decking isn't as stiff as lumber, so it generally needs more support to prevent sagging.This can easily add hundreds of dollars to your decking cost. Plastic: 100 percent plastic decking is stain resistant and won't crack, warp or splinter. 2  It doesn't require any finishing. 3  Some plastic decking is made from new plastic; others are partially or completely recycled. 4  Composite: This decking is made from wood fibers (usually recycled maple sawdust) and recycled plastic.
Umbilical Cord Care. The umbilical cord transported nutrients from you to your baby throughout your pregnancy. Now your baby has a purplish-blue stump that is about a half inch to an inch long. It will take some time (approximately 1-2 weeks) before the stump dries up and falls off. It will take a little care and attention to prevent irritation and infection.
Pediatricians used to recommend cleaning the base of the cord with rubbing alcohol. However, most now recommend leaving the stump completely alone because alcohol is believed to irritate the skin and sometimes delays healing. Other methods in caring for your babyâs cord include the use of Goldenseal Root and Echinacea.nly Give Sponge Baths. Do not bathe your baby in a sink or special tub until after the umbilical cord has fallen off. If your baby does take a bath, make sure to fan the area to dry it completely. You do not want to rub it dry as this could cause irritation.
