Question
The baby is about to turn one month old, but the navel hasn’t dropped off yet, and there was bleeding discovered during today’s disinfection. What could be the cause of this? Do I need to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, if the baby’s navel hasn’t dropped off and there is bleeding, it could be due to an infection. It is recommended to first clean the area with hydrogen peroxide and take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. At the same time, maintain hygiene in the area, keeping it clean and dry, and avoid touching it with your hands to prevent infection. Disinfection with iodine alcohol can be used. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
