Question
My 1-year-old baby’s navel feels cool to the touch. What could be the reason?
Answer
A cool feeling in a baby’s navel might be due to the navel being the end of the intestinal tract, where waste tends to accumulate. When bathing, it’s important to gently clean with clear water and avoid scratching the navel to prevent dirt from entering the body and causing an infection. Additionally, you can divert your baby’s attention to prevent them from developing a habit of scratching their navel.
