Question
My baby is premature, and I have been very worried about the child’s condition from the start. Recently, the baby has been experiencing a series of situations, and I am also worried, afraid that the condition might worsen. When will a newborn’s umbilical cord sink in?
Answer
Hello, for this situation, it is now just a matter of preventing infection. You can simply apply some gentian violet or iodine tincture. The diet should be light, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Drink plenty of water and expose the baby to sunlight more often.
