What do i do when umbillical cord falls off?

Question

it looks raw. more alcohol or vaseline???

Answer 1

When a babies cord falls off you need to make sure to keep cleaning it so it dont get infected and it gets air to heal faster.There is something i heard about  freezing it for later use when they get old to cure diseases.

Answer 2

put alcohol and do not cover it with gauze because it would make the healing process longer and also make sure that the diaper is not touching the navel.

Answer 3

IF IT IS NOT INFECTED, NOR BLEEDING, YOU PROBABLY DO NOT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING.

Keep the area clean.

This is a totally natural occurrence.  Just keep an eye on it until it heals completely.

Answer 4

Answer 8

I'd keep using alcohol, but take your child to the doctor.. they're health is too precious to risk something..

Answer 9

its probably just fine as long as its not all yellow and puss-y. just clean it really good with a qtip like you have been before it fell off. its just wet in there and will eventually dry out. and if you are concerned that it might be infected then give the doc a call. and why is this in garden and landscape? im assuming you are talking about your newborn?

Call your pediatrician.  Your child's health is too important for you to risk it by getting medical advice online.

Answer 11

Just wash the affected area with alcohol and let it dry.
