Keeping the belly button clean is very important, as this is a way to prevent infections. To this end, each time you take care of your baby, you need to clean the area around and on top of the belly button. This goes on until the stump (umbilical granuloma) falls off and the scar has healed.
Do not cover the belly button with gauze and make sure to let air get to the belly button area by rolling back the top of the diaper.
ATTENTION IF YOU NOTICE:
Redness of the surrounding skin
A foul smell
Pus coming out
In these cases, you must notify your pediatrician as soon as you can.
