How to Avoid Cord Around the Neck

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

When the umbilical cord wraps around the baby, and the wrap is tight enough to cause discomfort, the baby will move around to find a comfortable position, shifting left and right. When the baby turns back, the umbilical cord naturally loosens, and the baby can rest comfortably for a while. Of course, if the umbilical cord wraps around the neck many times, the baby will have fewer opportunities to move and resolve the situation on its own.
Advice: If this occurs, it's important to regularly visit the hospital for check-ups to monitor the baby's health. It's best to maintain a left-side sleeping position.
