The umbilical cord functions as a life support system for an embryo or fetus. It attaches to the placenta which is attached to the mother and transfers blood and nutrients from mother to child.

The umbilical cord sends the nutrients that the mother eats to the offspring. The umbilical cord is how the calf grows in the placenta, without this the fetus will die.

What are the steps of Unbilical Cord care?

It is important to keep the stump of the umbilical cord clean and dry. If the stump appears dirty it should be washed with plain water. After cleaning, place a clean cloth around the stump and fan it dry with a piece of paper. Fold the front of the baby's diaper down to expose the stump of the cord to the air. This will help the cord dry out naturally. Give the baby sponge baths until the cord does fall off. Do not pull the stump off even if it is hanging by just a thread or two. It is best to let it fall of naturally.

What is the purpose of a cord restraint?

A cord restraint helps to prevent tension that is placed on a flexible cord from pulling on the conductors inside it. The simplest cord restraint is a clamp that firmly holds cords in place as they enter or exit a box of some kind. But more often the term cord restraint refers to a thing made of wire that gets tighter on the cord as tension is placed on it.
