Question
What should I do if the doctor says my baby’s umbilical cord is a bit short at birth?
Answer
According to your description, your baby was born with a short umbilical cord, a small placenta, and a small full-term baby. Born weighing 4 kilograms, now 6 months old, weighing less than 10 kilograms. This might be due to the following reasons. Firstly, we need to consider chromosomal abnormalities. Secondly, we need to consider our own factors. The child’s condition suggests that a pediatrician should conduct a chromosomal test for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. In daily care, it is important to follow the doctor’s advice.
