The difference between umbilical cord protection and umbilical cord protection stickers

Umbilical cord protectors and umbilical cord stickers for babies are products that can protect the baby's belly button and have always been favored by many parents. After a newborn is born, the umbilical cord will be cut. Once the umbilical cord is cut, if the parents do not properly care for the baby's navel, the virus can easily enter the baby's navel, putting the newborn at serious risk of diseases such as tetanus or sepsis.

1. The difference between baby umbilical cord protection and umbilical cord protection stickers

1. Protect the umbilical cord

The baby umbilical cord protector, also known as belly band, is used to protect the belly button and umbilical cord as the name suggests. For a newborn baby, the umbilical cord may not fall off all of a sudden. In order to avoid colds and flu, doctors often put something around the belly of babies aged 0-1 to protect the umbilical cord until it falls off. This thing is what we call an umbilical cord protector. There are two types of umbilical cord care. One is a rectangular cotton cloth that can protect the baby's navel from getting cold, and the other is an umbilical energy belt that protects the baby's navel and enhances the baby's resistance. Baby umbilical cord protection is divided into ordinary baby umbilical cord protection and baby umbilical cord protection energy belt. Ordinary baby umbilical cord care mainly plays a simple daily care role for infants. Ordinary baby umbilical cord protectors are worn around the neck like a bellyband and tied around the waist, and are easy to fall off when worn. The baby umbilical energy belt is a high-tech product composed of nano far-infrared rays, negative ions and cool jade. It mainly acts on the human navel to activate body cells, promote metabolism, improve blood circulation and enhance the body's immunity.

2. Umbilical cord patch

The umbilical cord patch is composed of medical tape, absorbent pad, isolation membrane, etc. The medical tape is composed of medical non-protective cloth or medical PV, PE film or medical PU film or other medical materials coated with medical adhesive on the surface. Its scope of application is to protect the umbilical cord of newborns when they are swimming or taking a bath. Umbilical cord stickers can be used to protect the fragile umbilicus of newborns. They can protect the umbilicus from bacterial infection when the baby is bathing or swimming. Using umbilical cord stickers in cold weather can prevent babies with poor resistance from catching cold.

2. Principles of Umbilical Cord Care

1. Keep dry. The baby's umbilical cord should be kept dry before it falls off. Especially if the base of the umbilical cord is accidentally wetted during bathing, it should be wiped clean with a clean cotton swab before performing umbilical cord care.

2. Avoid friction. The diaper should be of appropriate size, and the waist of the diaper should never be placed at the base of the umbilical cord. This will easily cause friction to the base of the umbilical cord when the baby moves, causing skin breakage, redness, and even bleeding.

3. Avoid stuffiness. Never apply creams, lotions or oils to the base of the umbilical cord, as this may prevent the cord from drying out and may even lead to infection.
