En el video mostramos de manera práctica y sencilla de cómo curar el cordón umbilical del bebé recién nacido.
Se limpia con alcohol de 96 grados y gasa estéril. Luego se seca con gasa esteril y se cubre la parte inferior de la grampa umbilical y con otra gasa la punta del cordón umbilical y se lo tapa con un fajero (no se usa esparadrapo). Este procedimiento se realiza una ó 2 veces al día y cada vez que se crea conveniente. No se aplica polvos ni cremas.

Healing the umbilical cord of newborn baby

In the video we show in a way practical and simple of how newborn baby treats the umbilical cord of the baby.
It is cleaned by alcohol of 96 grades and gauze estérol. hen it dries off with sterile gauze and there is covered the low part of the " Umbilical Cord Clamp" and with another gauze the top of the umbilical cord and one covers it with a band (plaster is not used). This procedure realizes one ó 2 times a day and whenever it is created suitably. Neither dust nor creams are applied.

Summary:
The first step in umbilical cord care will be the cutting of the cord. The umbilical cord will be cut at some point after the birth of your baby. The cord can usually be cut by you, the father of the baby, or someone else close to you. If you have a cesarean section or choose not to cut the cord this will be done by your doctor or midwife.
The umbilical cord will be clamped before it is cut with something to help seal off the open blood vessels in the cord. This is usually a plastic umbilical cord clamp. Though it can also be a metal cord clamp or even cord tape. What is used depends largely on your practitioner.
After the cord has been clamped and cut, it may also be treated. The treatment is usually in the form of a dye. This dye is used to help protect the cord from infection, though it is not a mandatory procedure and varies largely by where you are when you give birth and who is caring for you.
The first step in actual umbilical cord care is to gather up your supplies. You will need either cotton swabs or cotton balls and a solution like hydrogen peroxide or alcohol. It's also handy to have the baby with you. Most parents choose to do cord care during diaper changes.
You should call your baby's doctor or pediatrician if there is a foul odor coming from the area of the umbilical cord,if there is redness around around the cord or if your baby is running a fever.
