After birth, the fetus usually needs to have its umbilical cord cut to separate from the mother and become independent. But after cutting off the umbilical cord for the fetus, there may be a small incision on the belly button, which could be cotton left by the doctor or a secretion similar to cotton secreted by the fetus itself. How to remove cotton from the baby's belly button?
The cotton in the baby's belly button should be removed at the hospital. The presence of cotton in the baby's belly button may be due to the fact that a piece of cotton was placed on the baby's belly button after birth when the umbilical cord was cut to separate the fetus from the mother's body. For the normal growth of the fetus, cotton must be taken down, but parents should not rashly take it for the baby. They should seek the help of a professional maternal and child health hospital to help the baby handle it and ensure hygiene and safety.
After removing the cotton, it can be wiped with alcohol. After the umbilical cord of a baby falls off, some yellow liquid may appear at the incision on the belly button, as this liquid has not been treated for a long time and slowly condenses into a yellow cotton like substance, causing parents to mistakenly believe that cotton has appeared on the baby's belly button. But parents don't have to worry, these problems can be easily solved. Parents use 75% alcohol to wipe the baby's belly button, gently wiping, and gradually the cotton at the baby's belly button position will disappear.
