Clean round it with warm water and pat dry. Do it a few times daily. Look out for any redness that goes from belly button towards nappy area which could mean possible infection

It’s going to fall off anyway lovely I’d only call the doctors if it looks like it’s becoming infected if there lots of redness around it and puss

My baby’s looked like that and I phoned,My midwife said blood is fine if it’s dry because it’s pretty much a wound that’s getting rubbed so it will bleed. She also said be worried/phone if it’s actively bleeding 😊 it fell off after 4 days x

I wouldn't worry too much my son has abnormally strong muscle strength and actually ripped his own cord off and never had any problems

Just leave it to dry out unless it looks infected. My daughters got caught on my shirt at one point and partly came off 🤢
