Umbilical cord, should I worry??

Question

Yesterday morning I was changing my week old daughter and her onesie was a button up and I accidentally snagged her cord and it came up and now is looking like this should I take her to the hospital ?

Answer

You’re okay. It looks normal. I did the same exact thing to my LO and I freaked out and grabbed my mom to come look. It was a little pussy and looks just like that. I just took a q-tip and dried up anything that was there and we just went on with our day. The next day it fell off he literally was a week old when it came off. Just make sure you’re keeping it dry.

Answer

It doesn’t look infected (red/swollen). Just keep it clean and dry
