Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with a series of situations, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become more serious. How long does it take to cut the umbilical cord?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it takes about a week or so after the umbilical cord is removed for it to fall off. Before the umbilical cord falls off, be careful not to get it wet or dirty. When taking a bath, use 75% alcohol to wipe and disinfect it. Clothing and diapers that come into contact with the umbilical cord stump must be kept clean and dry. Replace them promptly if they become damp.Hello, if a baby of this age still cannot speak or speak clearly, it may be due to congenital neurological or vocal organ developmental issues, cerebral palsy, hearing impairment, autism, or other problems. The specific situation needs to be diagnosed by a hospital through a formal examination. It is best to actively treat the symptoms according to the condition. In daily life, spend more time with the baby to help develop their speaking skills.
