There is a saying that the baby’s belly button cannot be touched even if it is dirty. Is this saying reasonable? In fact, the child’s navel can be cleaned.
The umbilical cord of a small baby usually falls off in about 2-3 weeks. After falling off, the wound of the navel is as complete as the skin of other parts after healing, and no additional treatment is required after the newborn period.
Generally speaking, when the baby takes a bath, he can wash his navel incidentally.
If this part of the child does not clean sebum and dust all the time, it will form dirt and adhere to the skin. If it is too large, it will irritate the skin and make the child uncomfortable. Therefore, when the baby’s navel accumulates a lot of sebum secretions to form dirt, it will be washed off after softening with water during bathing.
