Question
After the newborn’s navel falls off, is it safe to use the traditional method of burning mugwort into ash in the navel eye? Can it lead to infertility?
Answer
After a baby’s navel falls off, it should be kept dry. Using mugwort ash may not directly cause infertility, but it may increase the risk of infection. The correct method is to use iodine solution to disinfect the navel to ensure the baby’s health.
