Newborn Bellybutton Discharge?

Question

My LOs stump fell off around day 8 and seemed fine shes now 13 days . We haven't given her a full bath just sponge baths because we wanted to make sure it was all the way healed. But it might be infected maybe? It's not red, doesn't seem to bother her at all and she hasn't had any fevers. There has been a tiny bit of discharge stuff and I'm just wondering if it's normal or if I should be worried?

Answer

My pediatrician picked at the remaining little bit at my daughter’s two week appointment and told me that sometimes they discharge yellow and that’s pretty normal

Answer

My LO stump fell off really early too. I would make sure to keep it clean and it should heal and scab over soon. My little boys was a little wet and red for a week or so after it fell off, just had to be careful with it. Never hurts to call pediatricians office just for an opinion
