When a baby’s umbilical cord falls off and bleeds, parents can first purchase medical alcohol and iodine solution from a pharmacy. First, use a cotton swab to apply the iodine solution to the umbilical cord area, then use alcohol to reapply for deiodination. This process should be done twice a day to aid in the recovery and detachment of the umbilical cord. When changing the baby’s diaper or cleaning them, be especially careful not to touch the umbilical cord area. If the baby shows symptoms of vitamin D deficiency, such as bone changes and muscle weakness, they should be taken to a pediatric clinic for professional treatment immediately.
