Patient's question:
Soon after the bleeding, it dried up and formed a blood scab. When I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, the doctor said that the umbilical cord having no smell was normal. It should be that the baby moved and bumped the umbilical cord, causing the skin to break. There's no problem, just sterilize it every day. Also, I was told that my baby's umbilical cord scab is larger, so the peeling time will be much longer.Hello, is this situation problematic? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is recommended that you also maintain cleanliness around the umbilical cord to prevent infection. Pay close attention to observe the baby to prevent it from touching the umbilical cord, and also be mindful of preventing the baby's urine from polluting the umbilical cord. Keeping the umbilical cord dry is beneficial for shedding. The above suggestions are for the issue of "some bleeding in the umbilical cord on the morning of the baby's tenth day." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
