Before the umbilical cord falls off, the area needs to be kept clean and dry, especially the diaper should not cover the navel to avoid wetting the navel wound after urination. Always check whether there is bleeding outside the gauze bandage. If bleeding occurs, you need to re-ligate to stop the bleeding. It is recommended to wipe the area around the navel with iodine twice a day. If the exudate from the navel is like pus or has a foul odor, it means that the navel may be infected. In this case, you need to take your baby to the hospital.

First, apply iodine with a cotton swab, then apply alcohol again to remove the iodine. Do this disinfection twice a day and the umbilical cord will soon get better and fall off. When changing your baby's diaper or cleaning him, be careful not to get it on the baby's umbilical cord.

The umbilical fistula is formed by a chronic sinus tract caused by local chronic inflammation caused by early umbilical cord detachment.
