Question
How soon can newborns take a bath after circumcision?
Answer
The disinfection of the newborn’s umbilical cord can be done with an iodine solution. If signs of infection are detected, immediate medical treatment should be sought to prevent the situation from worsening. Under the guidance of a doctor, intravenous treatment may be necessary. It is also important to keep the umbilical cord area dry and clean to prevent infections. For premature infants, special attention should be paid to cord care since they have weaker immune systems and are more susceptible to infections.
