Does the umbilical patch contain any medicinal ingredients? Will the umbilical patch cause allergies?

Umbilical cord stickers are a baby product that we are all familiar with. They are mainly used to protect the baby's belly button. However, many mothers are worried that umbilical cord stickers may contain drug ingredients. So we need to understand whether umbilical cord stickers contain drug ingredients? Will umbilical cord stickers cause allergies?

Does the umbilical patch contain any medicinal ingredients?

No. Umbilical stickers are for newborn babies, because when a baby is just born, the care of the navel is very important, and strict attention must be paid to waterproofing. Umbilical stickers can help waterproof and keep the baby's navel clean and dry. The umbilical cord is an important connection between the baby and the mother. The fetus inhales food and excretes metabolites through the umbilical cord. After the baby is born, the umbilical cord is cut off, but it has not completely fallen off. At this time, the importance of umbilical stickers is shown. Because it takes one to two weeks for the umbilical cord to fall off from the root, the baby's navel must be kept clean and dry during this period. Therefore, when the baby takes a bath or swims during this period, the umbilical sticker should be used to prevent moisture from invading and protect the baby's health.

Will the umbilical cord patch cause allergies?

For some babies with allergic constitutions, using the navel sticker will cause allergies. When the baby is applying the navel sticker, you should always observe the skin around the navel to see if there is any redness or swelling. If there is redness or swelling, it means that the baby is allergic to the navel sticker and the navel sticker should be removed in time; drug allergy itself has a lot to do with the physical factors of the child, so if the baby is allergic, do not use the navel sticker. The manifestations of the baby's allergic constitution - such as multiple tics and hyperactivity, are also related to the child's allergies, such as hyperactivity and night terrors. This is because long-term allergy to the mucous membrane will cause the child to frequently blink, shrug his nose, open his mouth, and even shrug and twitch his stomach. Severe children will also have eyes rolling up, clearing their throats, and strange sounds in their throats. Allergic conjunctivitis causes allergies of the conjunctiva of the eye; children with allergic rhinitis often rub their noses, pick their noses, sneeze, have clear nasal discharge or nasal congestion. If they sneeze continuously, it is a more obvious symptom of allergy. Also, dark circles under the eyes at a young age are related to allergies. Some babies with allergies have red eyebrows when they cry, which is also related to allergies.

Precautions for using umbilical cord patch

1. If the baby's abdominal skin is inflamed, damaged or ulcerated, umbilical therapy is not suitable.

4. After applying the navel patch, remind your baby not to scratch or wipe with his hands to prevent the dressing from falling off.

Can I use the umbilical cord patch if it is expired but unopened?

If a child uses a belly button sticker, it is definitely not recommended to use it if it is expired, because there is a fear that the belly button sticker will cause allergies, and severe allergies will cause other abnormalities in the child's body. It is necessary to purchase a baby belly button sticker.
