Actually, pregnant women will find that their baby's belly button is bulging when they are first born. This is actually a normal phenomenon. But because bulging the belly button not only affects aesthetics, but also accumulates a lot of dirt over time, leading to inflammation. So many expectant mothers want to know when their newborn umbilical beans will fully grow.
In fact, babies will have their umbilical cord cut off after birth, and the umbilical beans will naturally fall off in about a week. After it naturally falls off, it is basically completely grown back.
So, what should be paid attention to before and after the navel beans have fully grown?
Firstly, before the navel beans naturally fall off, attention should be paid to the hygiene and dryness of the navel area. It is recommended to clean and disinfect daily. For example, external iodine can be used for disinfection to accelerate the drying of the umbilical cord and avoid bacterial infections.
Secondly, after the navel beans fall off, do not press the navel with your hands. Generally speaking, after the navel beans fall off, they are similar to an adult's navel, as long as they do not protrude too severely, there is no problem.
But if there is still bulging of the navel after the navel beans fall off, it may be a case of umbilical hernia. At this point, it is recommended to take the baby to see a pediatric surgeon for diagnosis. If it is confirmed to be a umbilical hernia, there is no need to worry too much. Disinfect the baby with hydrogen peroxide after showering every day, and it will not take long to get better.
