Question

How should you bathe a newborn baby? What are the specific requirements for bathing a baby with navel flesh growths?

Answer

Newborn navel flesh growths refer to an area of inflammation that occurs when the umbilical cord does not fully disinfect during detachment. When bathing, the following precautions should be taken:

  1. The disinfection method must be thorough. Use a 75% alcohol swab to disinfect twice, followed by a 95% alcohol swab to disinfect twice, allowing it to dry.
  2. The moist bottom of the navel flesh growths should be exposed by flipping the dry part over. Bathing a newborn baby might make new parents feel anxious, but in fact, proper care and treatment can alleviate and heal newborn navel flesh growths.
