Newborns may experience a small amount of bleeding after umbilical cord detachment, but it’s not severe. How should it be handled?

What should you do if your baby’s umbilical cord hasn’t fallen off by the ninth day?

If there is persistent mucus secretion after the umbilical cord of a newborn falls off, it may be caused by umbilical inflammation. It is recommended to take the child to a hospital’s pediatric department for a consultation and to continue with daily disinfection procedures.

A newborn’s umbilical cord typically falls off within 1 to 2 weeks after birth.
