Many parents are concerned about the fact that some babies have a large belly button, thinking that it may be due to a problem or illness. So, what should we do if the baby has a large belly button?
1. The belly button of a newborn is brought along with the mother, and as the baby grows and develops, the muscles around the belly button gradually develop well. Generally, it will slowly repair and heal itself around the age of 2. If it still exists after the age of 3, surgical repair is needed.
2. During the growth and development of babies, it is also important to pay attention to their emotional changes. When babies cry and make noise, their belly buttons will also bulge and gradually become larger. Don't worry when this situation occurs, just take care of the baby slowly while soothing their emotions, pay attention to keeping warm, and keep the baby in a warm, comfortable, and safe environment at all times. This will also restore the baby's navel to normal.
3. If the baby's belly button is relatively large at this time, the baby's belly button is delicate. If the belly button is frequently rubbed, it can cause skin abrasions and easily lead to infections and skin allergies. Therefore, when buying clothes for babies, it is advisable to choose loose and soft clothes to avoid scratching the belly button. At the same time, some baby protective patches can be used to prevent the occurrence of the disease as much as possible.
4. At the same time, mothers often pat their baby's belly button, which can promote the growth and development of the baby's belly button, and also make the baby happier and more comfortable, so as to gradually restore the baby's belly button to normal.
