How do I clean my LO's navel? There is some brownish substance around his navel..

You can clean it using the tip of the cotton swab and dip it in warm water. Squeeze out excess water and gently hold the stump with 1 hand and the other hand holding the cotton swab clean it around the navel area. Remember to wash your hand before you do it. It is important to keep the navel area clean and dry to prevent infection before the stump falls off naturally.

Previously confinement nanny taught me and shown me to use lukewarm water and cotton bud to slowly and gently clean it using tip of cotton bud to clean the navel area. Remember before all this need to wash hands clean. I remember pd prescribe a type of powder to apply on the navel to aid in drying the stump area. When they are older I used cotton bud and soaked in baby oil and gently and slowly clean their navel. Sometimes they will request for Ru Yu Oil to be used on navel for cleaning. They love the smell.

I would recommend putting extra virgin coconut oil ( can get from NTUC) on a cotton swap and clean gently. The extra virgin oil can also be used as moisturiser for yourself or as a makeup remover . Consuming 3 tablespoons weekly can also help you flush out toxins build up I your colons .
