Why does the umbilical cord of a one-month old baby not fall off? It was the parents who stole this lazy thing…

Question 1: Hello doctor, the baby is thirty-three days old and the belly button has not grown yet. When will the umbilical cord fall off? When the baby cries a lot in the past two days, the navel will bleed and become scabbed. I usually only disinfect the surface. Do I also need to disinfect the navel fossa? Dr. He Jiexin answered: The umbilical fossa also needs to be disinfected to prevent infection. The scope of umbilical cord disinfection must be in place. Not only the outer scab must be disinfected, but the inside of the umbilical fossa and the root of the umbilical cord must also be disinfected. If the disinfection is not in place, it will not be conducive to healing and secretions will flow out. ● If the baby is in good spirits, can eat and play, and has a normal body temperature, the number of disinfections can be increased appropriately. I have no experience, so I suggest that the mother can go to the hospital and ask the nurse to help. ● Pay attention to these points: Do not let the umbilical cord get wet, avoid rubbing the root of the umbilical cord when wearing diapers, and do not apply creams, ointments, etc. randomly. ● The umbilical cord of newborns usually falls off on its own in about 7 to 21 days. Mothers should never forcefully peel off the umbilical cord when it is about to fall off. During this period, keep the umbilical cord clean and dry to speed up the shedding of the umbilical cord stump and reduce the risk of infection. Question 2: Hello doctor, my baby is more than three months old. Just this afternoon, he rolled his eyes twice and had cramps. What\’s going on? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: Calcium deficiency, brain injury, epilepsy, and other metabolic diseases may cause this situation. It is recommended to go to the hospital to check the child\’s dynamic electroencephalogram to confirm the cause as soon as possible. Question 3: Hello doctor, my baby is one month old. Why does he only drink water but seldom pee? Dr. Pan Guilan’s answer: If the baby’s needs for water, breast milk, and milk powder are not met, the frequency of urination will be less. If the baby has diarrhea or fever, the urine output will also be reduced.
