The stump of the umbilical cord is enveloped in sterilised dressing after it has been dusted with sterile gypsum. The umbilical dressing is shown being applied.

Segment 2 One drop of a solution of notrate of silver is introduced into each eye. The bottle and dropper are shown, and then the procedure. The solution of silver nitrate forms an albuminate of silver in a thick drop in the corner of the eye. The drop is shown being wiped away. An identification disc is attached to the baby. He is then weighed and measured and wrapped in swaddling clothes. Finally, the baby is given to the mother. Time start: 00:04:11:16 Time end: 00:08:51:08 Length: 00:04:39:17
