Umbilical cord loss normal or infected?

Question

I can’t tell if this is normal or infected. Any advice is appreciated!

Answer

I went through this with my first . I believe it’s irritated and if it keeps bleeding or oozing in the next few days , I would definitely see the doctor ! I just washed it with water and a tip and made sure that her onesies didn’t rub against it .

Answer

My first sons looked like this and he had to go to the ped and they put some stuff on it to essentially kill the area. It made it all turn into a black scab and eventually fell off.

Answer

The bleeding is normal after the umbilical cord comes off, what isn’t normal to me would be the color. Call baby’s pedi or chiro and check.

Answer

I would check with your DR. My sons was irritated as well but it wasn’t as bad and we went in and they cleaned it and put something on it.
