Manual

First of all, it is always important that you let the umbilical cord beat out as long as possible. The longer, the nicer the start for your child.

What are you going to do?You make 2 surgical knots to close the umbilical cord.

Make it comfortable: take your time, the longer the umbilical cord is attached to your child the better.

Button 1 :

1. Put the umbilical lace around the umbilical cord
2. You mix the ends of the lace 2 times instead of 1 time as with a start of your shoelace or flat button. As a result, the knot is secured and cannot slide.
3. Tighten the knot with policy.
4. On top of the surgical knot, make another flat simple knot to fix it. Tie the knot with policy.

Button 2 :

1. Remove the lace ends to the bottom of the umbilical cord
2. Make a surgical knot here with the flat knot on top. Tie the knot with policy.
3. Cut off the end of the belly button lace to a comfortable length and unbutton the end.
