When do babies' navels fall off

Patient's question:

The baby just born doesn't know what's wrong, there are always red spots on the body, and it spits up milk. When does the umbilical cord of infants fall off?

Doctor's answer:

The umbilical cord of your baby has fallen off for too long. My baby's umbilical cord fell off around 15 days. At that time, I thought it was quite a long time. It usually falls off within three or two days, or even within a week. Of course, every baby's situation is different. Hello, if the degree of brain (hypoxia) is severe, it will affect brain development. It's best to give the child oxygen therapy or hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Also, check if the child's lung function is normal. Also, check if it's due to heart disease. These two conditions can both affect blood oxygen levels.
