How long does it take for a female infant to be free of white fetal fat on the vulva?

In female infants, white fetal fat is usually absorbed by the skin 1-2 days after birth, but each infant has a different physical condition, and the time for fetal fat to disappear is not the same. Fetal fat is normally milky white and greasy, adhering to the surface of the fetal skin, playing a warm, nutritious skin and other roles, especially after the birth of premature babies fetal fat is more, can be better to maintain the body temperature of preterm babies constant, and play a role in keeping warm. Fetal fat on the skin try not to wipe off, usually 24-48 hours later will be naturally absorbed. However, if the fetal fat on the perineum of the female fetus is too thick, it is recommended to gently wipe it in one direction 5-6 times with flowing warm water and a moist, soft cotton cloth, without exerting force, so as not to damage the baby’s skin. If the fetal fat in the skin folds is not absorbed for a long time, you can use olive oil, emollient oil or paraffin oil to soften and dissolve the fetal fat before bathing the baby, and then wash with normal baby shower gel, which can remove the residual fetal fat.
