The navel of a newborn is a delicate detail that requires careful care.
Be sure to follow these guidelines to navel I was able to heal well, and you do not worry about it.
Rule # 1
You need to treat the navel twice a day. The first time - when changing the diaper in the morning, the second - after bathing. Don't neglect this sequence. Also, remember to wash your hands before the procedure.

I will treat the wound with a solution of hydrogen peroxide. First, open the wound slightly and press down on the fabric near the navel. Pour peroxide into the wound. The solution may foam - this is normal, do not worry too soon.Rule # 3
After the clothespin falls off, the baby may have spotting. If so, apply a cotton ball soaked in peroxide to the wound for a few minutes to stop the flow.
Rule # 4
Never rub the umbilical cord. It is also contraindicated to cover it with a diaper elastic band, plaster or bandage. Let the wound breathe. Otherwise, a greenhouse effect is possible. You can fold the top of the diaper so that the umbilical cord is exposed and exposed to fresh air.
