Question

Can newborns wear an umbilical cord care belt?

Answer

It is recommended to use the Dinggui Umbilical Cord Plaster for the care of the newborn’s umbilical cord and cover it with medical adhesive tape after application. Continue this care method until the baby is one month old, then remove the plaster. If wind accidentally enters the umbilical cord, it may cause future gastrointestinal discomfort in the baby, increasing the difficulty of care. Additionally, to strengthen the baby’s bones, consider giving Longmu Zhuanggu Bone Powder or Calcium Gluconate Oral Solution. At the same time, consume foods rich in calcium, such as dairy products, fish, shrimp shells, kelp, and bone soup, and pair them with foods rich in Vitamin D, such as pork liver, lamb liver, and beef liver, to promote calcium absorption.
