Umbilical Cord Stump

Rachel

Has anyone’s baby’s cords gotten snagged and fell off early? My daughter is only 5 days old and during a diaper change her mitten snagged the cord stump and ripped it halfway off, so it kind of flops back and forth. The inside does look a little pussy and there is a tiny bit of blood. She doesn’t seem like she’s in pain at all. She has no fever, and the cord doesn’t smell at all. I called her pediatrician who told me to bring her into urgent care since the office is already closed.. she said they have something they can put on it to help the area close up quicker. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen and how long it took to heal? This momma is feeling super guilty 😭
