Betadine or 70% Alcohol

Nung newborn pa si baby, I asked our pedia about Betadine for the umbilical cord, and sabi niya okay lang gamitin in moderation, pero huwag masyadong madalas. Kasi nga, Betadine is an antiseptic, and although it’s effective in killing bacteria, medyo harsh siya for delicate skin, lalo na sa pusod. So, konti lang, and if ever may signs of infection like redness or bad odor, that's the time na kailangan ng Betadine. Pero kung normal, minsan tubig lang okay na.
