Navel care of the newborn

The navel usually falls off within 3 weeks after the birth of the newborn, many times it can be more. At this time it is important to take care of the navel. The navel gradually becomes dry and faded. Many times light bleeding may occur after navel reading or the area may be red.

Care:

1. Keep the place dry clean.

2. Do not shake hands unnecessarily.

3. Do not heat the place.

4. Do not apply ointment bandage, the drier it is, the less infection there will be.

5. Keep it open in the air, do not cover it while teaching diapers.

6. Do not take a bath until the navel is read, you can wipe the rest of the body except the navel by soaking a handkerchief in lukewarm water. Do not pull the navel, wait until it falls on its own.
