When the newborn born the umbilical cord is cut, on which his body receives all the nutrients. The residue length of 2.5-3.5 cm is fixed. With proper care it disappears in 7-10 days, and the wound remains. Therefore, the first weeks of life, infants require special attention. Rough movement - and integrity of the crust is broken. The sore can get pathogenic bacteria. If young parents know what to do when blood navel newborn, the problem will be able to cope on their own, and festering not happen.
Why is the blood of the newborn navel
You should not worry if the healing process is fast, and the umbilical wound blood only at random motion, if the stepped edge formed crust after bathing or stretching ring surrounding residual process. In this case, it stands only a few drops of plasma, and everything dries up again.
A list of the more dangerous reasons why bleeding navel infant:
- inaccurate actions when changing a diaper - systematically rip off the crust;
- the umbilical cord was too thick, because of what regeneration is slowing;
- due to obstetric errors - the remainder of the umbilical cord is too short or too long;
- newborn blood wound due to problems with blood clotting;
- increased fragility of blood vessels;
- Baby lowered immunity caused prematurity or organic disease;
- allergic to the means for processing;
- preet scab due to the fact that the baby is overheating;
- in an open wound proliferating blood vessels granulation occurs (visually it appears as a red ball in the recess navel) and vykladyvanii belly navel blood or touching;
- too delicate skin, irritating when using drugs with ethanol, due to which healing is stretched;
- inexperienced parents tear off flaking dried crust edge;
- bathing use too hot water or hard sponge wipe the entire body, the crust soak after bathing and waste.
If the eschar formed over Ranko, and then suddenly began to bleed the navel, and the child became restless, need to see a pediatrician. Long healing dangerous. With festering infection can get into the wound. The children in the first months of life accelerated metabolism, pathogen spread rapidly throughout the body - a high risk of developing sepsis. The most dangerous Staphylococcus aureus.
How can bleed navel
Duration of healing wounds in infants - 10-21 days and complete healing can last 40-45 days. It is considered the norm.
The residual umbilical cord, which is a nodule disappears after 7-10 days after birth. The wound can bleed for a long time, it is deep, but for 5-6 days a dense scab. He gradually becomes thinner, since the edges, peel, a little discharge. color of the liquid, which flows at the detachment brown, yellowish-pink. If you damage the scab again begins to bleed from the navel, and delayed healing.
What to do
When bleeding navel newborn, do you need all that were taught in the hospital. At discharge, the nurse show you how to correctly handle the umbilical wound. If you comply with all the recommendations in a timely manner to bathe the baby, do not stack early on his stomach, the scab will disappear by itself, and there are no problems. But if from the navel bleeds, you should consider whether or not caring properly for a child. Perhaps you should change diapers or processing facilities, which cover part of the abdomen, where the wound was.
proper handling
Seeing the blood from the navel of the newborn, do you need to complete the wound treatment: gently apply a few drops of hydrogen peroxide or green fodder. To reduce the mechanical action, do not use a tampon. Antiseptic dial a pipette and gently dropped onto the edge of the crust flaking. Manipulation is carried out 2 times per day. For the first time in the morning, the second - after bathing.
While drying the umbilical cord has not happened, is first treated with all the umbilical ring, and then later dried up process. Moving from the edge portion toward the center. If the newborn navel bleeds, dripping peroxide, wait until it stops bubbling. Then gently removed with a cotton swab crust that formed inside the umbilical ring. They should be easily separated. If you do not depart, it is not necessary to tear off.
antiseptic treatment is carried out repeatedly. We must try not to hurt healthy skin, so as not to injure. Do not worry if immediately after the processing separates a small amount ichor. This is normal - the liquid dries quickly and forms a crust.
care principles
When a child's blood periodically navel, the wound is treated more carefully, up to three times a day. manipulation algorithm:
- Stretch the umbilical ring and pipetted onto the wound applied 2-3 drops of hydrogen peroxide.
- Leave for the duration of foam and estimate how much separated blood fragments.
- Remove accumulation of dried particles and dry the wound with a cotton swab. The more carefully conducted process, the lower the risk of infection.
- If ichor was little, once applied Zelenka. Crust peeled off, noticed minor bleeding - first soak a cotton swab or swab soaked in chlorhexidine, allow to dry, and then cauterize solution of brilliant green.
All manipulations are carried out carefully, without touching the surrounding skin. After contact with an antiseptic to healthy tissue becomes irritated and wound surface increases.
Diapers
The blood from the navel of a baby begins to stand out if the crust is constantly preet and wet. To avoid this, provide a constant air. Putting on a diaper, the top edge of the bottom panel - it should not close the scab. Now sell special diapers for infants - with a cut in the top.
Disguise child should frequently - every 2-2.5 hours. Prolonged exposure to diapers increases perspiration. If the skin is constantly moist and grudnichka by absorbing panties appear diaper rash, parents have to sacrifice their own comfort and use gauze diapers.
Bathing
Many pediatricians believe that until the navel is not formed, and the process with a pin is not dropped, the volume hygienic measures should be limited to the body by wiping with wet wipes and cleaning the groin area. But if the child is severely preet, no bathing is indispensable.
Recommendations for hygienic procedures until the navel bleeds:
- Baby bath is treated with disinfectant and thoroughly washed.
- Water is heated and then cooled to + 37 ° C.
- Potassium permanganate - effective antiseptic, but if it is a lot, the skin dries and crusts on the umbilical wound starts to peel prematurely. Therefore it is better to add water decoction series or daisy. 3 tbsp. l. dried herbs pour 3 cups boiling water, boil for 15 minutes and carefully filtered.
- When using potassium permanganate you need to make sure that all the crystals have completely dissolved. The baby bath is added no more than 1.5 g of potassium permanganate.
- Before bathing the infant stomach does not spread. Dipped into the font, supporting arms and the back of his head. Touching the stomach should be avoided.
- Sponge abdomen do not rub. Spraying water jet directed shoulders.
After bathing navel was treated again. If the crust can be easily separated, and the bleeding does not occur, they are removed with a cotton swab. Skin rubbed Miramistin or chlorhexidine.
When should you see a doctor
If the wound is not podzhivaet, and after each of the planned processing flow in the newborn blood from the navel, it is necessary to turn to a pediatrician. But this is not the only factor indicating that the regenerative process is delayed or there is a risk for the baby.
Inflammation indicates redness (redness) and edema of the skin around the umbilical wound, the unpleasant smell of putrefaction, the overall temperature rise, suppuration scab. Pediatrician should be made aware if a bleeding wound does not heal longer than 3-4 weeks from under the crust pus, struck the surface of the skin expands.
Omphalitis (bacterial inflammation bottom umbilical wound, often caused by the introduction of staphylococcus aureus), the formation of granulation tissue and dermatitis require treatment. What methods are applied, the physician must decide. You may need antibiotics, physical therapy and even surgery.
prohibited actions
In the first days after birth the blood stomach after each treatment. Need not be frightened when stretched umbilical ring integrity is disrupted capillaries. Once dried the cord no longer required, the wound should be gently wet, so as not to damage the emerging crust.
Can not be imposed on the newborn navel bandage or adhesive plaster to seal it, even while swimming. High humidity and absence of air create favorable conditions for the development of pathogenic bacteria.
It is not necessary to expand the range of antiseptics. The skin may be treated with hydrogen peroxide, brilliant green, chlorhexidine or miramistinom. systemic medication with antibiotics, antimicrobial ingredients or hormones are used only by a pediatrician appointment. Using folk remedies in this step presents a danger.
the wound is not disturbed frequently. In the first weeks after the birth of antiseptics applied 2 times a day, when the scab peeled -1 times. With increased number of manipulations of bleeding can be increased up to three times a day. We should not once again touch the belly button, until healing is delayed.
The rate of wound healing depends not only on the condition of the baby, but also the proper care. If once again the scab does not injure, not to tear off and does not soak crust regularly manipulated by processing and making air baths, a month later the navel is completely healed.
