Baby is 15 days old. Today, there was bleeding from the umbilical cord after the bath. What should I do?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

According to the baby's condition, it is necessary to take good care of the umbilical area to prevent infection. You can use hydrogen peroxide for cleaning, povidone-iodine for disinfection, apply gentian violet solution, and then cover with sterile gauze. Change the dressing once a day.
