Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will get worse. Please ask when the umbilical cord of a newborn falls off.Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the baby is born, the umbilical cord is tied and cut, leaving a stump of the cord. Under normal circumstances, the umbilical cord naturally shrinks and dries up within 1 day after birth, begins to fall off around 3-4 days, and heals on its own after 10 days. If the umbilical cord area is not cared for properly, bacteria can grow and multiply, leading to neonatal umbilical.Hello, your child may be calcium-deficient. I suggest you take the baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for a blood test to identify the cause and actively treat it.
