How to handle the umbilical cord when bathing a newborn

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please tell me how to handle it when bathing a newborn's navel?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the baby's navel touches water, if it's clean water, it generally won't cause infection. If the bath water has a lot of soap and is rather dirty, it's more likely to cause a navel infection in the child.
Hello, a normal body temperature is 36-37 degrees. Just make sure the baby drinks more water and wait and see. If there are no other abnormal symptoms, there's no need to worry. Pay attention to the significant weather changes now and keep the baby warm to prevent a cold.
