Many parents may notice that there are some black things in their baby's belly button, which may be accumulated dirt due to water and dead skin in the belly button during regular bathing. Many parents may find dirt in their baby's belly button when bathing. Can we remove dirt from the belly button of a two-year-old baby?
The dirty things in the belly of a two-year-old baby can be removed, but they cannot be directly picked by hand. The dirt in the baby's belly can be rinsed with warm water or gently wiped with a towel during regular bathing. You can also use a cotton swab to stick some hydrogen peroxide and gently apply it to their belly button. After the dirt on the belly button slowly softens, use a wet cotton swab to gently remove the dirt, but do not use too much force or insert the cotton swab too deeply to avoid damaging the baby's belly button.
If you want to clean up the dirt in your baby's belly button, adults must be careful not to use their hands to pick it. If you directly use your hands to pick it, it may harm your baby's skin, causing it to rot and emit a foul odor. It may also cause the baby to experience abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Parents of babies should also be careful not to let their babies poke their belly buttons with their own hands, so as not to contaminate them with unclean hands. After showering their babies, they must also dry their belly buttons to prevent water from accumulating and becoming dirty or emitting unpleasant odors over time.
