Goldenseal on Umbilical cord stump

Charry • Can't wait to meet my Greek/Hungarian-Filipino Baby Boy!
Hi ladies. I am wondering if any of you tried it? My baby's cord fell off tonight and I see a tinie bit of pus on it so I called my midwife and she told me to put some goldenseal powder on it. It seems to dry it out very well but I am still curious about others opinion..
Has it worked with anybody else here?
