In daily life, there may always be some small problems, and some babies may have black things in their belly button. At this time, some parents may be afraid that their babies will be infected, so they will be very worried. Even some parents will find ways to help their babies get rid of those black things. But I'm still curious about what's going on with the baby's belly button being black?
What's wrong with a baby's navel and black eyes
The black substance in the baby's belly button is dirt, mostly caused by accidentally getting water into the belly button during bathing, and also because the skin of the belly button has metabolism, which can produce some aging and dead small cells. Over time, this substance forms. But never use your hands to pick it, as it can easily damage the navel or cause infection.
How to deal with black belly button and eyes in babies
1. When cleaning the baby's belly button, it is necessary to use a cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide to help the baby wipe the belly button after bathing. After removing the dirt, the belly button can be disinfected with iodine or medical alcohol dipped in a cotton swab. After about 2 to 3 minutes, the dry cotton swab can be inserted into the belly button to absorb the alcohol. Generally, disinfection can be done 2 to 3 times a day.
2. It is also not necessary to help the baby deal with it, usually during the baby's normal friction process. Those black dirt will also fall off on their own.
When faced with the problem of a baby's belly button being black, most mothers don't have to worry, as this problem almost occurs in every child. Mothers can help babies clean up easily. But be careful, because children are very fragile and easily infected when they are young. Of course, you can also ignore him because it won't pose any harm to the child.
