The health of the baby is one of the most important things that every parent cares about.

However, many parents will find that their baby's belly button is a little dirty, which can be very bothersome for some parents. So, what should I do if my baby's belly button is dirty?
First of all, we need to understand the role of the baby's belly button. The baby's navel is the earliest opening of the baby's body, and it is one of the channels for the baby's body to communicate with the outside world.
