Umbilical Cord stump?

Question

Does this look okay? It isn't red and doesn't seem to be bothering him, but it smells SO bad. I can smell it through a onesie and a blanket, and there's a little yellow pus now and then. Does it look fine though?

Answer

Id talk to a dr. I've never had a stump smell on any of the kids I've cared for and I have a huge family.

Answer

Smell bad and pus is a serious infection, you need to get that baby to a doctor asap!!!!

Are you cleaning it with a alcohol pad? Also have you been keeping it dry?

Answer

Take the baby to the doctor. They will know best!

Answer

With my first it fell right off and never stunk but my second son had the same thing. I just kept it dry and eventually it fell off and the smell was gone. I would just keep an eye on it :)

Talk to a doctor to be sure
