Question
How to care for a newborn under one month old?
Answer
Caring for a newborn under one month old requires attention to the following points:
- Before the umbilical cord falls off, avoid bathtub bathing as much as possible and use dry cleaning methods to wipe the newborn.
- After the umbilical cord falls off, you can take a bathtub bath and use non-irritating baby soap.
- After changing the diaper, use a warm towel to clean the buttocks thoroughly.
- If urine irritation causes the buttock skin to turn red, apply a small amount of sterile vegetable oil to the skin creases.
