Help! Infected?

Question

13 days old, her cord came off last night when it got caught on her onesie. Is this infected? Normal? What should I do? The red spots on the side is from a bandaid. No blood.

Answer

I would call the doctor. My sons kind of looked like that, and they just put some silver nitrate on it, and it dried it out the rest of the way. I'm not sure if it's infected though so I would definitely call the doctor, so they can at least see it, and help get it dried out so it doesn't become infected!

Answer

My baby's button was yellow oozey for two days after the cord fell off. Afterwards it was all healed up. I didn't mess with it, just kept it covered with a onesie and kept the diaper folder away from it.

Answer

I'd take her to the doctor. Or at least call. My sons never looked like that.
