How suitable is Ding Gui Er umbilical patch for babies of what size?

Patient's question:

Yesterday I took the baby for a bath, and ever since coming back, they have been crying and fussing. They had a bowel movement while using the toilet, which seemed a bit like an upset stomach. Sometimes when I hold them, I can hear gurgling sounds coming from their stomach, and they also pass gas frequently. I went to see a doctor, who said it's nothing serious and gave me two Dingui'er umbilical patches.
What kind of help am I looking for: At what age are Dingui'er umbilical patches suitable for babies?

Doctor's answer:

Dinggui'er abdominal patch is generally suitable for children under 12 years old. As long as the navel is intact, it can be applied. In other words, infants whose umbilical cord has healed can use Dinggui'er abdominal patch. However, for newborn babies, their skin is quite delicate. If the mother is still concerned, she can cut off the surrounding adhesive tape when using Dinggui'er abdominal patch and only leave the medicinal part, then wrap the navel with gauze.
