When does the umbilical cord fall off naturally? Don’t make mistakes with your daily care routine!

The baby\’s umbilical cord has not fallen off at 63 days, and there is no redness or swelling. I went to the hospital one month ago, but the doctor didn\’t dare to cut it for fear of bleeding. Later, I went to the surgeon and the doctor said to let it fall off on its own. But it hasn\’t fallen off for so long, is there something wrong with it? How can I do? Dr. Bi Shaoli answered: There is no good solution for late umbilical cord shedding. This is related to the method of tying the umbilical cord at birth, but it may also be caused by immune diseases, and a diagnosis still needs to be made. At present, if there is no redness, swelling or pus, and no large amount of fluid leakage, it means that the problem is not serious. Use iodophor for disinfection and care every day. When disinfecting, be sure to rub it into the umbilical fossa, that is, rub it under the black scab, and do not wrap it for a long time and keep it local. Clean and dry. If it doesn\’t fall off after 3 months, you can only go to the hospital\’s pediatric surgery department for treatment. Question 2: A baby girl, 1 year and 4 months old, weighing 19 pounds, only eats breast milk, no meals, no milk powder, no complementary food. The stool is sour and smelly, and it will come out after eating some tomatoes. It is black and green. What can I give her to nourish her spleen and stomach? Dr. Xu Lijuan’s answer: The transition to complementary feeding is not good, the child’s nutrients cannot keep up, and the sour and smelly stools are obviously indigestion. Give the child chicken gizzard powder, half a pack at a time, twice a day. It is recommended that the mother avoid the meal for two days to allow the child to eat complementary foods, and also allow the child to eat with the adults. The child will be curious to see the family eating deliciously. Question 3: My baby is 1 years old and 10 months old. He has constipation, which happens once every two to three days on average. It is very difficult every time. He had a slight rectal prolapse after defecation today. Now he is afraid of going to the toilet. What should I do? Dr. Cui Lixia’s answer: Eat pears, pureed vegetables, and boiled radish water every day, but do not eat biscuits and other snacks.
