Babies' Umbilical Nursing: 6 Skills

The baby's navel is one of the most vulnerable parts of the newborn and needs special care. This article will introduce 6 tips to help you better care for your baby's navel.

1 Keep dry.

Babies' navel should be kept dry to avoid bacterial growth. Every time you change diapers, gently rub the surrounding skin to make your baby feel comfortable.

2 clothing choice

Don't wear clothes that are too tight or rub your navel. Choose loose and soft clothes to make your baby comfortable.

Three cleaning methods

Every time you change diapers, gently wash your navel with warm water and mild soap, and then pat it dry with a soft towel. Be careful not to rub hard, so as not to hurt the baby's skin.

4 avoid stimulation

Alcohol and iodine may irritate your baby's skin and delay healing. Avoid using them. If you need to use drugs, please consult your doctor.

5 observe the details

Regularly observe whether the baby's navel is red, swollen, oozing, peculiar smell and other abnormal conditions. If you find a problem, seek medical advice in time.

6 when taking a bath

When the baby takes a bath, gently rinse around the navel to avoid pulling, causing discomfort or delaying healing.
