A newborn baby requires a lot of attention. Almost all 24 hours a day, you need to take care of him: change diapers, wash, feed, massage, sing songs to him, talk to him. One of the most important daily baby care routines is treating their navel. It should be carried out twice a day: in the morning and in the evening (after bathing the crumbs). Every mother should learn how to properly handle the umbilical wound.
It is necessary
- 1) Hydrogen peroxide purchased from a pharmacy (3% solution).
- 2) Zelenka (scientifically, a solution of brilliant green alcohol).
- 3) Cotton buds.
- 4) Sterile gauze pad or sterile cotton swab.
Instructions
Step 1
With a cotton swab dipped in a solution of hydrogen peroxide, it is necessary to very carefully remove the crusts formed in the region of the umbilical wound. With another cotton swab, also dipped in a solution of hydrogen peroxide, you need to thoroughly clean all the folds and grooves of the baby's navel.
Step 2
Before lubricating the navel with a solution of brilliant green, the wound should be dried with a sterile gauze napkin or cotton swab.
Step 3
Now the umbilical wound is ready for processing with brilliant green. This procedure is not difficult. A cotton swab should be moistened in a solution of brilliant green and gently lubricate the baby's navel: all its folds and hard-to-reach areas. Zelenka dries well, and most importantly, disinfects the baby's umbilical wound.
