Dried blood in belly button??

Question

My baby is 5 weeks and this morning I did I discovered dried blood in his belly button and on the inside of his onesie. Is this normal??

Answer

My daughter had that for a little while. Hers started out as just a little crusty blood and ended up having a little piece of red/pinkish tissue starting to come out a little. The doctor said it was a piece of the umbilical cord hanging on and used silver nitrate the whole way around her belly button and we haven’t had any issues since. It might not be the same thing, but I thought I’d share just in case so you don’t panic like I did 😀

Answer

My baby is 4wks and has been having the same thing. His pediatrician said as long as it’s not gushing blood it’s okay 😊

Answer

Their pants or nappy might be rubbing on the bellybutton, just keep an eye on it
