hello..<br> yes betadine is good.. you can apply.. but make sure to maintain hygiene near navel part.. if fluid/pus/blood discharge is there then meet your doctor asap.. and powder should be always avoided for newborns especially.. those tiny particles enter the immature respiratory tract of the newborns and causes severe respiratory disorders.. so please avoid applying all types of powders..

hi dear, ask doctor only for another one...

and ofcourse u can use powder, y not? it doesn't harms at all. if u feel like applying it ur baby go ahead no need to worry....

Hi anon how old is ur baby? it usually takes 10 to 15 days to heal the cord. if its bleeding after 15 days also then pls see a doc bcoz its abt ur baby u can't take any risk.
