Question

What to Do When a Baby’s Umbilical Cord Bleeds?

Answer

When a baby’s umbilical cord bleeds, you can use iodine and alcohol for disinfection. First, use a cotton swab to apply iodine to the bleeding area, then wipe with alcohol to remove the iodine. Repeat this process twice a day to promote the healing and detachment of the umbilical cord. Be careful not to touch the umbilical area during diaper changes or when bathing the baby.
