A. Yes it’s a part of healing and keep the area dry and while giving bath take care and apply little coconut oil around it and if you see any fluid or pud then sprinkle some neosporine powder over it

A. Hi mom Yes this is part of healing. U can apply betadine solution or neosporin powder on it. It will be fine. So no need to worry. Feed after every 2-3 hours interval or when demanded by the baby. Exclusive breastfeed ur baby till six months
