For example, the navel does not heal for a long time, it suppurates, itches. With the introduction of complementary foods can make itself felt allergy, diathesis, and even with chicken pox before the age of three, every second child comes across. All these not very serious skin problems can cause discomfort to the child, so parents should help the baby. It is with such troubles that the drug Baneocin for newborns, whose active ingredients are neomycin and bacitracin, helps to cope.

The unhealing navel, for example, needs to be treated with a powder two to four times, and ointment - two to three times a day.
