Doctor, my baby is 40 days old. Yesterday, I accidentally injured my baby’s palm with my fingernail. The skin was scraped off and there was some bleeding. Does my baby need a tetanus vaccine or any other preventive treatment? Are there any special precautions I should take to prevent infection? Could you please examine the wound and advise me?

We have a 55 day baby. He is currently on mixed feed. we are currently feeding him formula using palada every 4 hrs, remaining time he latches. The problem we have is feeding using palada is getting difficult since he moves his leg and arms too much and tries to take whole milk which results in frequent choking. we tried earlier using bottle, but within 2 days he got so much addicted to bottle that he started refusing breasts. Would like to have suggestions here.
His height & weight are almost stagnant from the past many months. His urine smells very bad just like a chemical, though it's colour is pale yellow.
