Is neonatal umbilical cord infection dangerous?

summary

Recently, a classmate of my high school had been married for several years and had no children. I heard that she had a big fat boy some time ago, so I went to visit her. As a result, my classmate told me with a melancholy face that she didn't know if it was hot or other reasons. She had an umbilical cord infection. So I helped her consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist. Let me share it with you

Is neonatal umbilical cord infection dangerous?

The doctor told my classmates to go to the drugstore to buy some diluted iodine, hydrogen peroxide and sterilized cotton cloth. You can dip some iodine into the cotton ball and slowly clean the baby's navel. After that, you can wrap it with cotton cloth without water to prevent infection. If the weather is warmer, you can turn on the air conditioner a little. Do not let the baby sweat, so as not to infect the navel

The doctor said that in order to avoid friction, we should pay attention to the top of the baby's diapers, and don't touch the position of the navel, which is easy to scratch and promising, so I asked my classmates not to use diapers or diapers for the children for the time being

When changing diapers for your baby, don't put diapers on your baby's navel to avoid infection. In short, you should create a clean and sterile environment for your baby.
