After the umbilical cord is ligated and cut, a small section of the umbilical cord stump is left, which is a traumatic area and should be well protected, otherwise bacteria will multiply here and cause umbilical inflammation and even sepsis, which can be life-threatening. Therefore, it is very important to take good care of the umbilical cord to avoid infection for the newborn. If a mother living in a remote area is too late to go to the hospital for delivery or has an emergency delivery, and the baby’s umbilical cord is not disinfected in time, she should ask the doctor to re-sterilize and ligate the umbilical cord within 24 hours and inject the baby with antibiotics and tetanus antitoxin to prevent neonatal tetanus and umbilicitis. The umbilical cord will usually dry and fall off in 3-7 days after ligation. Before the umbilical cord falls off, it is important to keep the umbilical cord dry and clean. (1) Avoid getting wet by bath water and urine; (2) Pay attention to whether the gauze wrapped around the umbilical cord is bleeding or wet at any time, and if the gauze wrapped around the umbilical cord gets wet, replace it with sterile gauze in time. After the umbilical cord has fallen off, the area is still traumatic and not yet scarred, so it is still necessary to protect the cleanliness and cleanliness of the umbilical cord, which can be wiped with 75% alcohol and then covered with sterile gauze. The umbilical cord cloth should be changed frequently. The umbilical cord cloth can be made of a long piece of cloth with two straps sewn on both ends. Such umbilical cord cloths are convenient and should be prepared in several pieces for frequent changing.
