Take care of the stump.

If you notice any of these symptoms, contact your baby's healthcare provider. As it could be infected, do not touch the stump. Bleeding may be another sign to get medical attention.
If your baby is bleeding after birth, wash the area with water and a pH -neutral cleanser. Be sure to check that the cleanser you choose is pH-neutral. Ask your pharmacist or child and family health nurse for a recommended product. Let your baby dry the area thoroughly after taking a bath. It's also important to protect the area with plastic pants or nappies. The infection may be exacerbated if you touch the area with your naked hand for the first two days.

It can be damaged by the sun's UV rays, as well as the chemical residues from nappies and saliva. Use specially-formulated baby skin care products. The products you choose should be gentle on the skin and are suitable for the age of your baby.

Moisturizers made with natural ingredients will keep it cool and soothe. It is important to care for your baby's skin from a young age.
Care of baby's teeth
You can start good oral hygiene for your baby even before the first tooth appears. This is especially true in the early months after birth when the mouth is still developing. Tooth decay from an unborn baby can be transferred to a child's developing teeth, increasing the likelihood of them developing it. Bad oral hygiene can have a negative impact on the baby's appearance, health, and overall health. For new parents, it is simple and inexpensive to take care of their teeth. Here are some tips to take care of your baby's pearly whites.
Baby teeth play an important part in the development of your gums and the formation of your permanent teeth. Poor dental care can result in crooked, misaligned, or even missing teeth. If baby teeth become lost, permanent teeth may also fall out. This can impact the child’s speech and bite. Care for baby's teeth now will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Avoid giving your baby juice or milk before bedtime. And don't forget to drink fluoridated water to help keep bacteria at bay.
Care for the umbilical chord
When baby is born, umbilical cord care should begin immediately. The stump will likely fall off within a week or two. If it doesn't fall off by then, clean the area with gauze and water. Then, sponge-bath your baby. It is important not to pull the cord stump so that it falls out. This can cause infection and scarring.
The stump may start to actively bleed and usually accompany a yellowish discharge. However, this is not serious and will go away eventually. If the stump is not dry within a week, it will develop pink scar tissue called a granuloma. While the granuloma might bleed a few drops of liquid, it will quickly disappear. However, continuous bleeding can be a sign of infection.
