A normal newborn is a baby born at 37-42 weeks gestation and weighs 2,500-4,000 grams. Care taken of newborns is care of hair, eyes, nose, mouth, ears and one of them is umbilical cord care. Umbilical cord care is needed to prevent the umbilical cord from becoming a breeding medium for pathogenic microorganisms: Incorrect care techniques can lead to tetanus neonatorum infection which can affect the length of cord detachment.
