The umbilical cord (umbilical cord) between baby and mother is a vital structure that provides oxygen and nutrients to the baby during pregnancy. After birth, the umbilical cord is cut and the baby begins to breathe and feed on their own. The remaining short portion dries up and naturally falls off within a few weeks (usually 1-3 weeks). During this time, it's important to keep the umbilical area clean and dry; using alcohol wipes is no longer recommended, just cleaning with water and a soft cloth is enough. If you notice redness, discharge, bad smell, or bleeding, definitely consult your pediatrician.
