Abstract
Daily painting of the umbilical stump with Betadine®3 during the stay in the maternity ward reduced the incidence of umbilical infections. In clinical use a tiny rubber ring for closure of the cut umbilical cord proved more practical and cheaper than a clip, the use of the ring in conjunction with painting with Betadine® accelerated the separation of the stump.Keywords
